FromSoftware, the renowned development studio behind popular games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series, announced a brand new game at the Nintendo Direct on Wednesday. It’s called The Duskbloods and it’s set to be released sometime in 2026, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The developers aired a short trailer that showed off some of the world and general concepts behind the game. It’s dripping in dark, gothic vibes and the opening intro references an unknown knight of “light.” The game appears to feature a completely original concept with a new world and cast of characters (one of which looks like it preys on a monster like a vampire). That said, the title of the game has many wondering if it’s set in the Bloodborne universe.
The news comes just after FromSoftware made another big announcement at the Nintendo Switch 2 event. Its global hit, Elden Ring, will be getting a Switch 2 port so even more people will be able to take up the journey and fight as The Tarnished. (The Elden Ring Tarnished Edition port will be released in 2025).
As for non-Switch 2 news, FromSoftware still has some other projects cooking. The studio’s next big game, Elden Ring Nightreign, is set to be released on May 30. There was no mention of Nightreign at the Direct and as of writing, the fast-paced, co-op spinoff will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
