In a recent interview, FromSoftware has reassured fans that despite its upcoming titles Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods leaning heavily towards multiplayer experiences, the studio remains dedicated to crafting compelling single-player games. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki emphasized that the company will continue to produce games in the vein of Elden Ring, which embrace their more conventional style. Although there was little doubt about FromSoftware continuing with single-player-focused titles following Elden Ring's success, Miyazaki clarified that this does not signify a shift toward a primarily multiplayer-oriented future.

Miyazaki provided some insight into the origins and development of The Duskbloods during the interview. Initially conceived as a project for the original Switch, it gained Nintendo's support early on. As the game began to take form, discussions with Nintendo about the Switch 2 led to a reevaluation of the development plan to leverage the new hardware's capabilities. This collaboration between FromSoftware and Nintendo has been ongoing since an earlier meeting where a rough outline of the game was presented.

Despite similarities to Bloodborne, The Duskbloods is a new intellectual property from the start. Set to release exclusively on the Switch 2 in 2026, it won't be available on PS5. Nevertheless, fans can look forward to FromSoftware's continued contributions to the single-player gaming experience.

While FromSoftware is venturing into the realm of multiplayer games, its dedication to crafting immersive single-player adventures remains steadfast. Through collaborations like the one with Nintendo on The Duskbloods, the studio continues to innovate and adapt to new platforms while staying true to its roots. Fans eagerly await both the multiplayer thrills and the solo storytelling masterpieces that FromSoftware promises to deliver in the coming years.
