New game from Elden Ring and Dark Souls creators may release beyond Switch 2. Strong indications suggest The Duskbloods will be a temporary Nintendo exclusive

Speculations about The Duskbloods, the latest game from the makers of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, have been centered around its potential temporary exclusivity on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. Indications online point towards this game possibly being an exclusive for a short period for the Japanese company.

Hey there fellow gamers! I, your friendly neighborhood content creator from the Land of the Rising Sun and part of PowerUnlimited, stumbled upon some intriguing details. On my X profile, I noticed a thread suggesting that the mastermind behind the Duskbloods brand is none other than FromSoftware themselves! It’s also mentioned that this studio will be releasing the game domestically in Japan, while Nintendo takes care of the global launch – sounds familiar to the arrangement “Big N” had with Square Enix. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

Genki found that the current situation seemed more akin to Nintendo’s partnership with Square Enix on games like Octopath Traveler or Live A Live, rather than Bayonetta 2 and 3, which had a unique arrangement (Nintendo also distributed it in Japan). However, he acknowledges that the specific details of the agreement between FromSoftware and Nintendo are still unclear. Yet, if the hints are accurate, The Duskbloods might expand to other platforms down the line.

FromSoftware has unveiled a fresh new label, The Duskbloods, masterminded by Hidetaka Miyazaki himself. This upcoming game is slated for release in 2026 and will initially only be accessible on the Nintendo Switch 2 console. It’s a multiplayer RPG featuring Player vs Player vs Environment (PvPvE) modes that can accommodate up to eight players simultaneously. The reveal trailer during Nintendo Direct stirred memories of Bloodborne among fans.

The scarcity of the game created quite a buzz, particularly among PC gamers who have long anticipated the arrival of the ported version of Bloodborne. Now that FromSoftware has unveiled the successor to this popular title, the renewed exclusivity seems to be calling for retribution.
