Individuals are going to argue for some time which of at the moment’s Nintendo Change 2 Direct reveals was the largest, however I’m extra inclined to say it was The Duskbloods. That is the following venture from the long-lasting FromSoftware.
The Duskbloods seems to be a follow-up to Bloodborne in all however title, 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 received a pleasant, meaty take a look at gameplay, and the footage appears to have been captured from a Change 2, seemingly operating at 30fps.
Because the title suggests, The Duskbloods has a serious vampire component. 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 ready in what appears to be a steampunk model of London (or no less than a metropolis very a lot impressed by it). This all looks as if the following evolution of Bloodborne.
Although gameplay stays principally in melee, there’s an enormous emphasis on ranged weapons. One shot within the trailer has the participant character utilizing dual-SMGs – which admittedly appears a bit unusual. The character can 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!
