I'm a decade-plus FromSoftware sicko, and these are my 5 takeaways from the first Duskbloods gameplay
I still resent it being a Switch 2 exclusive.
Veteran Soulsbornes gamers VaatiVidya and Oroboro have provided insight into the upcoming PvPvE game Duskbloods for the upcoming Switch 2. The game's structure is reminiscent of Nightreign's instanced, run-based gameplay with a timer that increases in difficulty and stakes. The game features characters with set fantasies and abilities, potentially including equipment.
Duskbloods has three maps, one more than Nightreign, and is more PvP-focused with PvE options. Players earn 'Virtue' by completing objectives, and the highest scorers survive to the next round. The final battle can be either PvP or co-op PvE. The game's aesthetic and design elements resemble Bloodborne, with similar enemies, maps, and boss designs.
However, it's unclear how well these design choices will translate to the game's sustain and follow-through, especially given FromSoftware's history with multiplayer support. The game is expected to launch on PC, but it's not certain if it will be as polished as anticipated.
