From Software has announced a new IP
From Software's new RPG, The Duskbloods, has been announced during the Nintendo Switch 2 broadcast as an exclusive Switch 2 game. In this gallery, we'll take a look at potential characters, weapons, mechanics, boss fights, and the game's setting and timeline via a series of images from the announcement trailer. While the game isn't out until 2026, and no narrow window within that year has been announced just yet, we can already analyze the trailer to find out plenty of information about the vampiric title from the Elden Ring developer.
A scarred hand
Opening the trailer, a hand is shown carved with a symbol as a female figure grasps it while reciting, "I give you my blood. I give you my life. Turn, oh wheel, and transport him to a night of moonlight, to humanity's very dusk." It's unclear whether this is the process of converting a deceased human into the vampire-like creatures we see later in the trailer.
A British looking environment
Some scenes in The Duskbloods appear to be set in the UK, or London specifically, thanks to the appearance of clock towers that resemble Big Ben, and the city's skyline. Big Ben was constructed in 1859, giving us a glimpse into a potential timeline for the game.
A train station in The Duskbloods
The appearance of a train station and railway lines also adds more context to the game's timeline. Since the first steam railway became operational in 1804, the game might be set more recently than this.
