Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware seems to be firmly in its multiplayer era with the announcement of its new game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Duskbloods.

The Duskbloods was one of the biggest surprises of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. I don't think I ever would have had a Nintendo-exclusive FromSoftware game on my bingo card, but I certainly wouldn't have had that FromSoftware game being a development on the longshot that was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Nightreign.

(translated via Google). Now, my persona🍒l vendetta against almost all kinds of extraction shooter (I'm of the opinionꦐ that Escape from Tarkov, Dark and Darker, and Hunt: Showdown 'completed' this particular genre) means that I'm not super-down for that, but what I am interested in is the fact that this is a newly-emerging pattern for FromSoft.

Of course, there's been multiplayer in Dark Souls for years, but the entire Soulsborne 'series' is certainly multiplayer-first. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring blurred those lines, but Nightreign started the ⛎process of erasing them entirely. Now, The Duskbloods is a whole new IP (despite how much it looks like Bloodborne) based entirely around that multiplayer setup. It's not an optional extra like Elden Ring's, but clearly a core part of the experience. That marks a whole new frontier for this acclaimed studio, and it's one that I'm fascinated to see play out.

Here's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:everything we know about The Duskbloods.
