Individuals are going to argue for some time which of in the present day’s Nintendo Change 2 Direct reveals was the largest, however I’m extra inclined to say it was The Duskbloods. That is the following undertaking from the long-lasting FromSoftware.
The Duskbloods seems to be a follow-up to Bloodborne in all however identify, and it’s coming completely to the Change 2 in 2026.
The Duskbloods is directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the legendary director behind lots of FromSoftware’s video games, together with Darkish Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring.
The Duskbloods’ reveal was one of many few Nintendo determined to maintain for the very finish of the showcase. We acquired a pleasant, meaty have a look at gameplay, and the footage appears to be like to have been captured from a Change 2, seemingly working at 30fps.
Because the identify suggests, The Duskbloods has a serious vampire ingredient. Characters are seen biting the necks of, and sucking the blood out of enemies. It additionally seems to be an open-world recreation with a brand new steampunk-like jetpack that gamers will use to traverse the world.
Certainly, The Duskbloods is about in what appears to be like to be a steampunk model of London (or no less than a metropolis very a lot impressed by it). This all looks like the following evolution of Bloodborne.
Although gameplay stays largely in melee, there’s a giant emphasis on ranged weapons. One shot within the trailer has the participant character utilizing dual-SMGs – which admittedly appears to be like a bit unusual. The character can also be proven a number of occasions with a rifle on their again.
We’re going to study extra on April 4, when Nintendo will publish an interview with Miyazaki himself on Nintendo’s web site. Till then, begin speculating now!
