Bloodborne might have been a lot greater than what Sony product of it, however no less than it form of lives on via its non secular successor.
We’re into 2026 now which not solely means we’re again in the identical 12 months as Grand Theft Auto VI’s launch window however we’re additionally in the identical 12 months as The Duskbloods’ too.
Whereas it’s not my most-anticipated sport of 2026 as a FromSoftware fan it’s undoubtedly in my high 5, and primary for my most-anticipated Nintendo Swap 2 video games. Nevertheless that proper there may be the most important downside, it’s a Nintendo Swap 2 unique so I fear that it received’t be performed by as many as we’d hope.
The Duskbloods’ marks the primary time that FromSoftware and Nintendo have partnered up, and should you advised that was going to be a factor a couple of years in the past I’d have known as you loopy.
It’s a PvPvE sport, which isn’t my favorite sort of sport to play however I’m keen to present it a go for the aesthetic alone.
The Duskbloods’ appears to be like just like the closest we’ll get to an official Bloodborne sequel, and I’m hoping it’s standard sufficient to push Sony into bringing the PlayStation unique to PC, or no less than give it a PlayStation 5 improve.
Whereas not precisely the identical as final 12 months’s Elden Ring: Nightreign ought to give gamers a style of what’s to come back, as many felt prefer it was a check for The Duskbloods to see how gamers would react to one thing completely different to the same old FromSoftware soulsborne system. I’d argue it was successful and whereas I’d nonetheless want to play customary Elden Ring I’d be down for extra spin-offs prefer it sooner or later, possibly a Darkish Souls one set on the peak of the Age of Hearth.
Again to Bloodborne 2.0 although, The Duskbloods launches someday this 12 months however on the time of writing a precise launch date hasn’t been shared.
I’m guessing we’ll have to attend till the subsequent Nintendo Direct, although it may be introduced throughout one of many Companion Showcases too.
If I used to be a betting man I’d predict it’ll be launching over the Summer season, however that’s pure hypothesis on my half.
However I’m extremely excited to leap in and play when it’s prepared, however I’m curious to see if partnering with Nintendo will damage the sport within the long-run, as there are nonetheless a number of Nintendo followers who don’t but personal a Nintendo Swap 2, and there undoubtedly received’t be a PC port.
