  Before anyone gets hyped thinking this is a spiritual sequel to Bloodborne, they may want to read the description on the official site (translated from Japanese via DeepL):

  The Duskbloods," a multiplayer action game, was announced during a Nintendo Direct released on Wednesday, April 2.

  The software for Nintendo Switch 2 is a PvPvE-based multiplayer action game that pits up to eight players against each other, and between players and their enemies. Players take on the role of the “Twilight Bloods,” a race of people who have been given powers beyond those of humans through the power of special blood, and engage in an epic battle for the "First Blood.

  The “Creator’s Voice,” an interview with the director regarding the concept and worldview of the game, will be released on Friday, April 4 at 10:00 p.m.

  Please look forward to the release of this work in 2026.

  This game appears to be to Bloodborne what Nightreign is to Elden Ring: an online multiplayer-focused experience using a lightweight version of their gameplay formula. Only, while Nightreign is co-op, this one appears to be more competitive.

  Basically, no one should be buying a Switch 2 for this game if they’re expecting Bloodborne 2. If they do, they’re setting themselves up for disappointment.

    Assuming that’s correct, all my interest in the game died instantly. Which is sad, because it’s the only title I was truly interested in.

    When I saw the trailer, I thought Nintendo had pulled the craziest power move. Now I’m less disappointed since I probably won’t have much interest in this anyways. I probably will watch some streamers play it for sure.

    The art style is also too close to night reign/elden ring than bloodborne

  For the record, Sony owns the rights to the Bloodborne IP which is why this isn’t called “Bloodborne 2”.

  That said, this is almost definitely Bloodborne 2.

  Before this I was like “I’m not playing a single Nintendo exclusive game” because of the emulator situations Now I need to ask what’s the state of switch emulators? I still hate Nintendo but I don’t want to miss out on this

    Switch emulators run fine, but this is coming to the Switch 2. We don’t know when emulation for that will be available, if ever considering how hard Nintendo has been cracking down on them.

  Don’t worry it will play better on PC.

  Maybe just maybe it will be a timed exclusive?

  Not interested in PvP, sadly this doens’t seem to be a Bloodborne 2.
