A Chinese video game journalist who correctly leaked Elden Ring information before the game launched has stated that The Duskbloods has been in development at Fromsoft since 2019. He went on to say that the game has been playtested internally by the developers more than any Fromsoft game to date and that the multiplayer game’s gameplay is so innovative that it could influence future Fromsoft games. He also said that the company wants to get the Elden Ring Nightreign DLC out before extensively marketing The Duskbloods. If this is correct then we should get a new The Duskbloods trailer at The Game Awards 2025.
“From what I know, The Duskbloods was greenlit even earlier than the marketing period for Sekiro’s release. It is the FromSoftware title that has spent the longest time purely on gameplay prototyping and validation among all of their games so far. Although it’s PVE and PVP, it reportedly contains many innovative elements the team themselves are very proud of.”
