The Duskbloods, the upcoming title from FromSoftware, is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Directed by the renowned Hidetaka Miyazaki, The Duskbloods promises to be a spiritual successor to Bloodborne, featuring a unique steampunk-inspired world where players can use both melee and ranged combat, including dual-SMGs and rifles. The reveal at the recent Nintendo Direct showcased captivating gameplay that seems tailored for the Switch 2, running at 30fps. With a heavy focus on vampire themes, players will encounter scenes of blood-sucking enemies and an open-world environment designed to immerse gamers in a gothic atmosphere reminiscent of a dark, industrial London. Fans are excited to speculate on what this sequel might bring, and more details are expected in an upcoming interview with Miyazaki.

The Duskbloods is scheduled for release in 2026, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.

The Duskbloods marks a significant addition to the Souls-like genre, known for its challenging gameplay and rich lore. Following the success of Bloodborne, the anticipation for this title has been fueled by its connections to previous FromSoftware classics, indicating that fans can expect a blend of exploration, combat mechanics, and intricate storytelling that characterizes the studio's works. The game will likely draw on Bloodborne’s atmosphere while introducing innovations that take advantage of the new hardware capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2.
