Summary
Hidetaka Miyazaki said long stretches making multiplayer games leave FromSoftware wanting to build single-player titles again, signaling the studio’s likely direction after The Duskbloods.
Two recent multiplayer projects—2025’s Elden Ring: Nightreign and Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods—were a coincidence rather than a strategic shift, he said, adding the studio still has a heavy single-player focus.
The Duskbloods instead served as a home for ideas that did not fit a single-player structure, while Nintendo’s partnership helped strengthen tutorials and onboarding—an area Miyazaki said FromSoftware has historically handled poorly.
A 5-phase network test for The Duskbloods runs from Aug. 21 to Aug. 24, and the full game is still slated for 2026 despite no confirmed release date.
