The Duskbloods – Nintendo Direct | Nintendo Switch 2

The moontears will flow for one and one alone when The Duskbloods, a brand-new multiplayer game by FromSoftware, is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026!

Neonridr43d ago

do we know that it's exclusive? Or is it just that Nintendo got the rights to reveal it first?

Would be crazy if they made this game just for Nintendo though.

ZeekQuattro43d ago

Unless Nintendo mistranslated itself its exclusive.

darthv7243d ago

...as crazy as bloodborne for Sony?

VersusDMC43d ago

Well it's crazy that people (even Miyazaki) have been ragging on Sony for holding Bloodbourne hostage on PS4 and not doing a PC version...then it's fine that new game is held hostage on a system with the lowest specs?

Profchaos43d ago

Exclusives sell systems timed or fully

CrimsonWing6943d ago

Says Exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 at the end of the trailer, so I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s exclusive to the Switch 2.

Obscure_Observer43d ago

It´s exclusive.

Shocking how Nintendo managed to get Miyazaki to work on an exclusive title for the Switch 2 under Sony´s nose.

LoveSpuds42d ago

True to form, get a dig in at Sony no matter the subject of the news story.

StoneColdCrazy42d ago

still this is multiplayer’s title so we can stop bothering each other’s about it.

This looks like a downgraded bloodborne, which already makes it better than 90% of the games out today.
Take my money.
I might have to get the switch now. Thanks Nintendo for doing something Sony won’t fucking do.

CrashMania43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

It's a multiplayer game btw, so doesn't seem to be the typical soulsborne style of thing.

That said Sony really should do something with Bloodborne.

Kinda glad it is multiplayer only. Now I don't have to miffed about the exclusivity because I don't care anymore.

CrimsonWing6943d ago

Awww man, really!? That completely kills my hype if that’s so.

Terry_B43d ago

"Confirmed in a press release from FromSoftware, The Duskbloods is a PvPvE title with "online multiplayer at its core," with up to eight players battling for the win among themselves."

Elda43d ago

Just killed my interest as well.

repsahj42d ago

I am sure you will say the opposite if the game is announced on sony showcase. XD

LoveSpuds42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Nope, not at all, it's a perfectly reasonable position to adopt. I have played every FromSoft title as a single player experience, I play offline in fact as I don't even want to see messages or ghosts in my game.

So believe me when I say, finding out that the game is multiplayer focused has seriously diminished my excitement.

Terry_B42d ago

I play mainly on PC. And nope..I wouldnt buy the game on a pc or a ps5 either. The only multiplayer games I play are fighting games.

FromSoftware Owns The Duskbloods IP, PC Release Is Possible Unlike Bloodborne

Since FromSoftware owns the Duskbloods IP and not Nintendo, the possibility of a PC port is higher than that of Bloodborne.

Since they own the IP I think it will come to PC and Playstation since PlayStation owns stocks in their company anyway

Sony helped them not be acquired by someone else

Hypertension14037d ago

I already knew it was coming to other platforms the second it was announced.

Profchaos37d ago

Since it said exclusive to Nintendo switch you didn't you just hoped

"Since they own the IP I think it will come to PC and Playstation since PlayStation owns stocks in their company anyway"

Nintendo´s fully paying for this game´s development and marketing expenses, so the chances you´re going to see it hitting the Playstation are good as Bayonetta 3 coming to PS5 or Xbox. The fact Sony owns stocks in their company doesn´t mean they´re entitled to any special treatment or privileges.

Now, I'm not saying you're wrong, but being the majority shareholder does apply to the potential contracts one would make. I wouldn't count it out as a timed exclusivity, but it could still be entirely exclusive. I'm not sure that would be beneficial for FromSoftware, though. I think it will eventually make its way to PC, at the least.

neutralgamer199237d ago

Yes sir but you do realize that from software own the IP. They can do whatever they want. Look at death stranding on Xbox

TheColbertinator37d ago

Bayonetta 3 has exclusive publishing rights with Nintendo and nobody else while Sega owns the IP, not Platinum Games. Very different situation from Duskbloods.

Duskbloods is owned by FromSoftware so it can hit Steam or anywhere eventually.

DodoDojo36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

@Neutral
Kojima had to aquire the Death Stranding rights and only got them last year.

Christopher35d ago

*** Kojima had to aquire the Death Stranding rights and only got them last year. ***

You're proving his point with this statement. The fact they own the IP, they can do what they want in so far as contracts will allow and Nintendo doesn't own publishing rights. We won't know the extent of the contract until a year or so after release.

“Pc release is possible unlike Bloodborne?”

Ok that’s fine then. But why did I finish Bloodborne at 120fps on my PC last week if it isn’t possible?

PrinceOfAnger37d ago

PC got the remastered version of Bloodborne.

Sony removed 60 fps on PS5/4
for some reason $$ !

anast37d ago

With tons of crashes and PS4 emulator problems.

gold_drake37d ago

sooo, the exclusivity is timed then. gotcha

Goodguy0137d ago

PC should've also been day one considering the success of elden ring. Huge amount of sales.

LoveSpuds37d ago

I am not sure how much explicit than 'Exlusively available on Nintendo Switch 2" the language needs to be. Seems to be a good dollop of wishful thinking going on.

Profchaos37d ago

People are to used to the Xbox model apparently of exclusive just means not exclusive

"The concept itself was different from anything FromSoftware had done before"

Maybe when more info is released this game will get alot more attention. Right now I'm not seeing much revolt from other players wanting this to be multiplat. I bet that will change...
