During today’s Nintendo Switch 2 broadcast, From Software announced a brand-new title, The Duskbloods, which will be exclusive to the new console.

The Duskbloods appears to be centered around vampires, or similar creatures, and features a range of familiar From Software mechanics and gameplay. Nintendo’s press release describes it as a multiplayer game, although it doesn’t share any further details. The official site notes it supports up to eight players.

The Duskbloods is exclusive to the Switch 2 console.

It looks to bear the same challenging combat style, as well as impressive and immersive worldbuilding. The trailer begins with a scarred hand reaching out to another, and a female voice stating, “I give you my blood. I give you my life. Turn, oh wheel, and transport him to a night of moonlight, to humanity’s very dusk.” This could be interpreted as the method of humanity turning into a vampiric state.

Next, several different scenic cuts were shown before a silver-haired man stands atop a tall building surveying a city, a dark-haired man draws a sword-like blade, and a woman wearing traditional Japanese attire poses. A short creature clad in armor wades through a dark pool, before launching a jetpack to quickly cross a canyon.

There are a variety of weapon types in The Duskbloods

Characters appear to be able to hover in midair for short periods of time, and the silver-haired character is seen biting the neck of an enemy, lending further credibility to the vampire-like-creature theory.

Many weird enemies await in The Duskbloods

While there is an element of history in the scenes shown, vehicles including trains and weapons including guns suggest The Duskbloods timeline is set more recently than Elden Ring’s 5,000 years ago. Having said that, the trailer did also feature a human-eating dinosaur, so who knows? You can check out our The Duskbloods trailer breakdown for more.

While no specific date was announced, it was confirmed that The Duskbloods will be released in 2026 as a Switch 2 exclusive.
