FromSoftware Announces Switch 2 Exclusive Multiplayer Game “The Duskbloods”
[summaraize]
Well, FromSoftware has had quite a busy last few years, with the studio releasing Elden Ring, then its follow-up expansion, and soon a new Elden Ring multiplayer game. They’ve got a lot on their plate, yet it seems they aren’t slowing down, as they’ve just revealed an entirely new IP exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Welcome to The Duskbloods, a new PvPvE multiplayer Souls-like game revealed as the capper to the Nintendo Switch 2 unveiling event.
The Duskbloods Arrives in 2026, Exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Getting some Bloodborne vibe off of this one, though if you’re expecting a traditional souls-like experience, you may be disappointed to learn that this seems to be more along the lines of Elden Ring Nightreign. FromSoftware confirmed via press release that the title would be an online multiplayer, focusing on a PvPvE setting.
Here’s the info from the press release: ”
The Duskbloods: The moontears will flow for one and one alone in The Duskbloods, a brand-new multiplayer** title from the creators of DARK SOULS and ELDEN RING, FromSoftware. Available exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, The Duskbloods launches next year. Read more in our upcoming developer diary series, Creator’s Voice, with the game’s director Hidetaka Miyazaki, coming on April 4th.”
There’s not much else beyond that, and for those hoping that it would be released this year, well, you’ll have to wait; it’s slated for 2026.
In the meantime, though, FromSoftware fans can look forward to Elden Ring Nightreign (impressions here), which arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 30, 2025.
