More Details On The Duskbloods Revealed In Interview

by

Hidetaka Miyazaki shared additional insights on FromSoftware’s forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive title, The Duskbloods. He disclosed information such as the presence of multiple playable characters, an abundance of character customization options, among other details.

The Duskbloods Will Feature Multiple Playable Characters

Nintendo’s latest blog post includes an interview with FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki, focusing on their upcoming exclusive for Switch 2 titled The Duskbloods. During this conversation, Miyazaki revealed that the game’s main characters, who are controlled by the player, are known as Bloodsworn.

From the enchanting world of Bloodsworn, I’ve found companions reminiscent of Vampires, yet distinctly unconventional. Miyazaki shared that we, as players, get to choose from more than a dozen characters, each with their own individuality, arsenal, and appearance. It’s fascinating to note that these characters can be tailored to some extent, enabling us to craft our very own unique playstyles.

The character known as Bloodsworn boasts extraordinary abilities, including increased running speed, an enhanced jump, and a special double jump. Miyazaki described the actions of The Duskbloods as “more dynamic than anything we’ve seen in our past games.” The Bloodsworn are vying for the title of First Blood during the “Twilight of Humanity.” The game doesn’t adhere to a specific time period, so players may encounter maps that have a traditional Gothic or Victorian aesthetic.

The Duskbloods Extensive Character Customisation

Players have the freedom to modify a character’s lineage and destiny, thereby enabling them to personalize skills, visual aspects, personality traits, roles, and interactions with other characters in the game. Essentially, players can adjust both the appearance and gameplay mechanics of their characters to optimize their gaming experience according to their preferences.

Roles that lead to Player-based Interactions

When inquired about a topic, Miyazaki brought up the concept of ‘roles’ within the game Duskbloods. Roles refer to specific duties and goals that players assume during online gameplay. These roles foster distinctive player interactions and connections. To help players grasp these aspects better, Miyazaki offered examples of two roles.

In Miyazaki’s initial concept, ‘Destined Rivals’ involves players locating their designated adversary and defeating them. Conversely, ‘Designated Companions’ will have players searching for other players, converting them into allies, and offering unique rewards. Miyazaki further explained that these roles can be assigned to any character through blood customization, enabling players to engage in role-playing in a tangible manner.

FromSoftware’s Focus is Not Shifting to Multiplayer 

In upcoming launches such as Elden Ring: Nightreign and The Duskbloods by FromSoftware, some gamers are pondering if single-player games will be neglected. Yet, during the same conversation, Miyazaki clarified that the company is not planning to transition towards a more multiplayer-centric approach in their future titles. Instead, they continue to commit themselves to creating games primarily focused on single-player experiences.
