Dark Souls developer FromSoftware surprised fans — and perplexed some — with this week’s reveal of a new competitive multiplayer game for Switch 2, The Duskbloods. Alongside Elden Ring Nightreign, it’s the second multiplayer-forward game coming from the studio, which is best-known for its immersive role-playing games.

The Duskbloods might have a stronger multiplayer focus than other FromSoftware games, but single-player is here to stay.

In a new interview with Nintendo, the game director for FromSoftware's The Duskbloods sheds light on multiplayer focus and more.
