Arguably the most startling revelation in today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct news is the introduction of The Duskbloods. Crafted by the renowned FromSoftware, this title seems to breathe an Elden Ring-style open-world life into Bloodborne’s Gothic horror universe.
Slated for an exclusive release on the Switch 2 in 2026, the trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of sprawling environments hinting at its open-world nature. The bizarre array of enemies and abilities showcased suggest a more whimsical approach than any prior FromSoftware venture.
The trailer is imbued with enough Bloodborne essence to ignite nostalgia even before The Duskbloods’ title card is unveiled. Highlights include a whimsical boss duel featuring a pajama-clad foe, a flying armored figure reminiscent of Mass Effect’s Moleguy aliens, and a dramatic scene where the protagonist swings through a moonlit temple, shotgun blazing.
FromSoftware didn’t stop with just one announcement. Elden Ring is set to debut on the Nintendo Switch 2, together with a collection of beloved last-gen games. Among these is the acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077 and Civilization 7. These additions indicate that while the Switch 2 may not surpass the PS5 and Xbox Series X, it will certainly keep pace.
