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

[Hypertension140]

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

[Profchaos]

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.

[neutralgamer1992]

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

[TheColbertinator]

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.

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

*** 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?

[PrinceOfAnger]

PC got the remastered version of Bloodborne.

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

[anast]

With tons of crashes and PS4 emulator problems.

[gold_drake]

sooo, the exclusivity is timed then. gotcha

[Goodguy01]

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

[LoveSpuds]

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.

[Profchaos]

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

[on_line_forever]

I just finished watching solo leveling and just noticed something when Sung Jin-woo fighting king ants he get upgraded during the fighting I wish fromsoftware do something like that with hard bosses with multiple phases

[SimpleSlave]

This one hurts. While this does look like a mobile clone of Bloodborne, probably made by the same people that did the base Dark Souls 2 game, it still sucks that it's even a thing. Not because of exclusivity, but because it almost assures that Bloodborne 2 will not be a thing. At least not for years to come.

And we can only thanks one company for this: Sony. Their love affair for garbage GAAS games has seriously fucked everything up. Seriously, Sony, you fucking suck. Get your shit together already.

[Fishy Fingers]

Random Sony rant aside. Might be some rose tinted glasses going on there mate, go watch some bloodbourne footage, probably looks like a "mobile version" of what you might remember.

[SimpleSlave]

I don't have to, bud. It's install on my PS5. And it will always be. One of the best game ever made, and still looks top notch.

Now, I'm not saying Duskbloods look bad, it's FromSoftware after all, but there is certain deficiencies for sure. The animation is suspect and the atmosphere is lacking when compared to Bloodborne. This ain't their A-Team is all I'm saying. So mayhaps it is you who needs a reminder of how amazing Bloodborne still looks. Even when compared to today's standards, or to this.

[anast]

It's all good Fish. You don't need to let everyone know that you don't have taste.

[Profchaos]

Sony's live service push wouldn't interfere with third parties it's an internal mandate they don't want another live service from a third party they only retain a few dollars for they want the whole thing

[SimpleSlave]

Edit: I just realized I didn't quite get where you were getting at with your comment, so my response probably makes no sense. But I just want to vent, so up it stays.

Well, actually, when it comes to Bloodborne, and Demon's Souls, Sony owns the IPs. And it's up to Sony to hire FromSoftware to work on the games. Something they simply did not want with Demon's Souls, then Dark Souls happened, and a lesson they didn't learned with Bloodborne, and now we have Duskblood. Sony's incompetence when it comes to these highly regardless IPs has been legendary. Sega Saturn/ Nintendo's Virtual Boy level of legendary. Just absolute idiocy.

Again, I don't hate this game exist, but it's the fact that, just like it happened with Demon's/Dark Souls, this probably means that the Bloodborne IP might be dead for good. Maybe a remake down the line and that's it. And it's all thanks to Sony's incessant need for the GAAS shit.

[anast]

I think they will do what they did with Demon Souls and make the new Bloodborne a PS6 release.

[fsfsxii]

What a tantrum, grow up lmao and understand how businesses work. Have you considered that FromSoft does not make sequels since the end of the dark souls trilogy? Its possible they dont want to make Bloodborne 2.

[SimpleSlave]

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
Lmao indeed. And just like clockwork too. Impressive...
🤣🤣🤣 💀

[Profchaos]

Basing all of this from a trademark at the bottom of a website.

That's not really concrete.

If I was to guess at best this would be a timed exclusive for 2 years

[anast]

It's not. If fans want to cobble together a janky unofficial version, they can.

[Terry_B]

But its just a multiplayer game..so who cares anyway.

[CrimsonWing69]

I lost all interest when I found out it’s an MP focused game.
