Bloodborne Spiritual Successor ‘The Duskbloods’ Releases Exclusively for Switch 2

Without a doubt, neither this game is Elden Ring or Bloodborne 2, but rather, it’s “The Duskbloods”, the latest multiplayer offering from the talented minds at FromSoftware. Currently, it’s slated to debut exclusively on the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2…but for the moment, that’s where you’ll find it.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, who is known for directing hit games such as Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, steps forward once again to lead The Duskbloods’ development team. He assures fans that they can expect a new yet recognizable adventure in the Soulslike genre.

In the trailer, we saw unique ideas and frightening designs, which are classic elements of FromSoftware’s distinctive style. However, what really grabbed players’ interest was the game’s setting inspired by the Victorian era.

There’s no official release date yet, but the game is expected to launch sometime in 2026.
