FromSoftware Confirms IP Ownership of The Duskbloods as Switch 2 Exclusive Launches in 2026

The multiplayer PvPvE title introduces innovative online gameplay while leaving open the possibility of future cross-platform availability.

The Duskbloods, a PvPvE multiplayer game from FromSoftware, is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
FromSoftware retains ownership of The Duskbloods' intellectual property, potentially allowing for cross-platform releases after its initial exclusivity period.
The game will support up to eight players in online matches, blending player-versus-player and player-versus-environment elements with unique roles and objectives.
Studio lead Hidetaka Miyazaki reaffirmed FromSoftware's commitment to single-player games, despite the studio's recent focus on multiplayer titles.
The Nintendo Switch 2, launching on June 5, 2025, provides the platform for The Duskbloods and other upcoming titles, including a port of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition.
