Summary
Hidetaka Miyazaki said The Duskbloods will pair strong players with strong players and newcomers with newcomers, aiming to curb one-sided matches as the skill gap grows.
FromSoftware is using the ranked system to make its Switch 2 multiplayer experiment more approachable, while still letting players unlock story content and character customization even when they are not winning.
Miyazaki said veteran-newcomer features may arrive later rather than at launch, including alliance settings that let high-rank players opt into helping newer ones and rare event bonuses tied to experienced teammates.
The plan is not final: FromSoftware is still evaluating feedback from the Aug. 21-24 network test and from experimental systems such as Sigils and Virtue points before locking in long-term matchmaking.
