FromSoftware Unveils ‘The Duskbloods’ – A New Souls Title Exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2

While fans were hoping for Bloodborne or Silksong news during the recent Nintendo Direct, FromSoftware surprised everyone by announcing an entirely new Souls title—Duskbloods. Inspired by Bloodborne and other FromSoftware classics, this mysterious new game has caught everyone's attention. Let’s break down what we know so far.

The Duskbloods - A Dark and Gothic New Souls Experience

The Duskbloods reveal trailer, showcased during the Nintendo Direct, hints at a Bloodborne-inspired world with a gothic Victorian aesthetic and a bleak, oppressive atmosphere. However, the game also appears to incorporate elements from other Souls titles, featuring magic and diverse combat styles.

Unlike traditional Souls games where players embody a nameless character, The Duskbloods seems to introduce distinct protagonists. The trailer also features steampunk influences, adding an intriguing twist to the usual formula. And, of course, the game is packed with massive, terrifying bosses—ranging from grotesque humanoid creatures to imposing mechanical monstrosities.

Exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 (For Now)

At this stage, details remain scarce, but we do know that The Duskbloods is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. While this may be a projected release window subject to change, the exclusivity may be temporary, with potential ports to other platforms down the line.

For now, The Duskbloods isn’t the Bloodborne remake or Silksong update fans were hoping for, but it marks an exciting new chapter for FromSoftware. As more details emerge, we’ll keep you updated—stay tuned!
