The Duskbloods trades FromSoft's sweet maidens for an 'elderly gentleman' rat
Briefly

FromSoftware's upcoming title, The Duskbloods, is set to break the mold with its emphasis on PvPvE multiplayer for the Nintendo Switch 2. Shifting away from the typical doll-like maidens, players will instead encounter a whimsical winged rat character that serves as a guide. Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki expressed a desire to try something different, describing the character as an elderly gentleman, reflecting a lighter, more playful approach in collaboration with Nintendo. With a release date in 2026, The Duskbloods promises innovative gameplay while retaining elements familiar to fans.
Miyazaki says that the developer "tried doing something a little Nintendo-esque in the spirit of the partnership" with that character.
"We tried something cute for a change," Miyazaki explains. "Although I will say this character is actually an elderly gentleman."
