Mange FromSoftware-fans gennemgik en rutsjebanetur af følelser da The Duskbloods blev afsløret, for det ligner lidt Bloodborne, men så gik det op for dem at det er et PvEvP-spil for op til otte spillere.
I et interview med Nintendo (via VGC) adresserede instruktør Hidetaka Miyazaki det med studiets multiplayer-fokus, for at forsikre om at de altså ikke holder op med lave singleplayer-spil.
"I've always found the PvPvE structure very interesting. It allows for a broad range of game-design ideas, while also letting us leverage our experience of designing challenging enemy encounters. As a side note, please allow me to address one thing. As previously mentioned, this is an online multiplayer title at its core, but this doesn't mean that we as a company have decided to shift to a more multiplayer-focused direction with titles going forward. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Elden Ring was also announced, and we still intend to actively develop single-player-focused games such as this that embrace our more traditional style."
Spillet lander i 2026 eksklusivt på Switch 2.
