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 subsequent mission from the enduring 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 Dark 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 take a look at gameplay, and the footage seems to be to have been captured from a Change 2, seemingly working at 30fps.
Because the identify suggests, The Duskbloods has a serious vampire factor. 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 seems to be 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 subsequent 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 seems to be a bit unusual. The character can also be proven a number of instances with a rifle on their again.
We’re going to be taught extra on April 4, when Nintendo will publish an interview with Miyazaki himself on Nintendo’s web site. Till then, begin speculating now!
