Switch 2 The Duskbloods (CHI/ ENG)

FromSoftware’s newest dark fantasy multiplayer action title brings its signature challenging combat to a unique PvPvE experience for up to eight players, and is being developed exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, making it one of the platform’s biggest third-party exclusives scheduled for 2026.

The Duskbloods is an upcoming multiplayer action game developed by FromSoftware, the acclaimed studio behind Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Set in a haunting world where the twilight of humanity has arrived, players take on the role of the Bloodsworn—superhuman warriors empowered by mysterious blood—as they battle for the coveted “First Blood.”

Designed around PvPvE gameplay, matches feature both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment encounters, creating dynamic battles against rival Bloodsworn and formidable enemies alike. Combining gothic, Victorian-inspired aesthetics with supernatural themes, The Duskbloods introduces a fresh multiplayer-focused experience while retaining the atmospheric world-building and intense combat that FromSoftware fans expect. Launching exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, it stands as one of the system's most anticipated exclusives.
