The legendary studio FromSoftware, known for gifting the world with Elden Ring and the iconic Dark Souls series, unveiled its new project.

The revealed trailer showcases the project's dark gothic aesthetic – the frames are literally saturated with an atmosphere of ancient mysteries. Particular attention is drawn to the enigmatic "light" knight appearing in the opening scene. Although developers position The Duskbloods as a completely original universe, numerous references (including the title itself) make one wonder about a possible connection to the Bloodborne world.

One of the key mechanics will be character transformation – the trailer demonstrates metamorphosis into various monsters, including unexpected forms like a miniature tyrannosaurus. The gameplay promises to combine classic FromSoftware elements:

  • Mysterious runes and firearms
  • A sinister "moon presence"
  • Steampunk elements (including jetpacks and even a functioning steam locomotive)
  • Vertical gameplay with high-altitude attacks

The multiplayer system is of particular interest – it remains unclear whether this will be the traditional co-op for the series or something fundamentally new, similar to the announced Elden Ring Nightreign.

The main question troubling fans is whether the project's exclusivity for Switch 2 is permanent or temporary. The official release of The Duskbloods is scheduled for 2026.
