It seems unlikely that we’ll see the release of Bloodborne 2 any time in the near future. In the meantime, The Duskbloods could serve as an excellent substitute. Although it shares some similarities with Bloodborne, Duskbloods is proving to be remarkably unique. This uniqueness isn’t just due to its Player vs Player vs Environment (PvPvE) systems, but also because of its central concept. In this game, players will take on the role of a Bloodsworn, a powerful being empowered by magical blood. Although the Bloodsworn are inspired by classic vampire representations, they aren’t actually vampires themselves according to the game director Hidetaka Miyazaki. They are searching for something called First Blood, which is said to flow as human society reaches its end. Some might assume that with all this talk of blood, The Duskbloods wouldn’t be able to escape comparisons to Bloodborne, but the truth may turn out to be quite different.
