The Duskbloods – Story Premise, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Influence, Destiny 2 Connection, World Setting, and Everything We Know

If you are a fan of Soulsborne games and have been waiting for a new gothic, vampire-like video game (ahem-Bloodborne-ahem), then you are in luck because FromSoftware is back with their upcoming game, The Duskbloods. Who would have thought that Nintendo and FromSoftware would come together to deliver the players a new chilling RPG experience?

While whispers of The Duskbloods are still just beginning to drift through the gaming world, we’ve already unearthed a surprising trove of details about what promises to be an intriguing new title. Read on to find out more about The Duskbloods and why it’s already got us buzzing.

When will The Duskbloods release?

Although a concrete release date for the upcoming FromSoftware Game is nowhere to be seen, during the April Nintendo Direct presentation, when the game was announced, it was also revealed that The Duskbloods will be released sometime during 2026. The wait might feel long, but knowing that 2026 is just around the corner, it makes the anticipation all the more thrilling.

What kind of game is The Duskbloods?

The Duskbloods is going to be a multiplayer third-person action-RPG that will feature both PvP (Players vs Players) and PvE (Players and Environment) gameplay. The upcoming title is being developed by FromSoftware, so you can expect Miyazaki’s infamous poison swamps to rot your legs away and the bosses to be much harder than you can anticipate.

This time around, FromSoftware is trying to bring multiplayer into their games, which is pretty apparent with their upcoming Elden Ring multiplayer spin-off Nightreign. The Duskbloods is going to focus more on PvPvE, where players will be able to choose who they want to play as from over a dozen characters.

, players can battle in grand train stations and/or in gothic settings that resemble Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne.

What about the game’s trailer?

The upcoming game’s debut trailer was first revealed during the April Nintendo Direct presentation, and it just blew everyone’s minds. The trailer showcased the fast-paced combat of the game that looked intense yet incredibly fluid, and it also gave us glimpses of some bosses that left a spooky feeling in our guts.

While all these are features that should be praised, we cannot stress enough the atmosphere that the title just threw at us. The visuals were drenched in eerie Victorian architecture that definitely made us believe that this was going to be Bloodborne 2. All in all, the trailer absolutely rocked and even gave us a glimpse of this guy flying on his steampunk-style jetpack.

Who’s developing the game?

Although The Duskbloods is being developed by FromSoftware, another studio is secretly helping Miyazaki to push the title to greatness. We are talking about Zero State Games, which is a studio founded by former Bungie developers who have also made popular games like Destiny and Destiny 2.

This is a huge deal considering the game is not only getting the signature magic sparkle from FromSoftware, who have experience in crafting mind-blowing single-player games, but also from a group of developers who know a thing or two about expansive worlds and compelling multiplayer features.

Unveiling the lore of The Duskbloods

The game is about these characters who are known as the “Bloodsworns”. They are a group of vampire-like creatures who have achieved super-human abilities through the power of “special blood”. While they are similar to vampires, who ***** blood and stay alive, they are not portrayed as the horrific monsters that we associate with in traditional vampirism.

In The Duskbloods, the Bloodsworns are competing for something known as the “First Blood,” and it only flows during an event known as the “Twilight of Humanity,” which signifies the end of human society. The Bloodsworns are summoned at the Twilight of Humanity to compete against each other and obtain the First Blood.

The game is not confined to a specific location or era, and takes place on multiple maps. This is sort of showcased in the trailer where we can see diverse settings, like there are some gothic and Victorian style architecture, which gives a traditional feeling, as well as there is a train running, which sort of signifies the closing ******* of the early modern era.

How will the game play out?

Players get to choose from over a dozen Bloodsworns, with each possessing different weapons and abilities, and each game or round will throw the players on a different map, where they will compete against different bosses and other players to remain the last one standing. Players can customize their characters with items in dedicated hub areas, and in classic Miyazaki style, lore fragments are integrated into those customization items.

Each character has a “Blood history and fate” which can be customized, and players can change the characters’ attributes like their abilities, appearance, characteristics, as well as their designated in-game roles. Players will also be able to summon companions that will aid them in combat.

There are also speculations of a certain event system where certain events might dynamically influence matches by introducing elements such as special enemy spawns or additional objectives.

While there is no additional information about the pre-order dates and the price of the game, much to the disappointment of fans, FromSoft is pulling another Bloodborne on us and making The Duskbloods exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2.

Making the title exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 is a bold move considering the game won’t be available for other platforms like PlayStation and Xbox (at least during launch). This exclusivity is sort of just a testament to how Nintendo is a money-hog and how they want to make all the FromSoftware fans buy the new Switch consoles for the upcoming title.

Although this exclusivity shows how the Switch 2 can host some high-caliber games and deliver enhanced gaming experiences, it has genuinely disappointed a lot of fans and non-Switch gamers. It’s a tough pill to ******** when a highly anticipated title from a beloved developer is locked behind a specific platform, especially one that many might not even already own.

Wrapping up

For fans of games like Bloodborne and Elden Ring, The Duskbloods feels like a long-awaited return, and it is clear that the game is like a gentle scratch to a very specific itch. FromSoftware knows where our buttons are to get us buzzing, and they are pressing them.

While the twist of FromSoftware teaming up with ex-Bungie devs was something no one saw coming, it makes sense considering The Duskbloods is not just another single-player game with gothic elements. The game is actively trying to build a multiplayer, competitive, and lore-soaked world where every match tells a story about what’s happening in it.

Even with all the exclusivity and FromSoftware trying out something new, there is no denying that The Duskbloods is going to be one of the best experiences that we will experience next year. The atmosphere, the lore, the weapons, and the jetpacks, there is a lot to be excited about. So while the wait is long and the platform choice is a bummer, The Duskbloods might just be worth every drop of anticipation.
