'There was never really any big plan that these two games would both release next to each other' — FromSoftware president suggests a return to single-player games after Nightreign and The Duskbloods
FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has suggested the studio could return to making single-player games after Elden Ring: Nightreign and The Duskbloods.
FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has clarified that the simultaneous release of Elden Ring: Nightreign and The Duskbloods was not part of any deliberate plan. Miyazaki, who also directed Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls, explained to IGN that the two multiplayer games coincided by chance, as Nightreign was overseen by a different director, Junya Ishizaki.
The president emphasized that there is no long-term strategy to release multiple multiplayer titles back-to-back. Miyazaki noted that after working on a multiplayer game for an extended period, it may fuel a desire to create a single-player experience instead. FromSoftware's last single-player title was Elden Ring, released in 2022, followed by Nightreign in 2025.
The studio's upcoming project, The Duskbloods, is a PvPvE title exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Network testing for The Duskbloods is ongoing, but no release date has been announced yet.
