Elden Ring Nightreign makes me nervous for Duskbloods
FromSoftware's first major attempt at a multiplayer focused game has me nervous for Duskbloods next year.
Elden Ring, the hardcore action RPG made by FromSoftware, is one of the best games ever made. That fact sets an impossibly high bar for Elden Ring Nightreign, but the multiplayer spin-off is drastically different from the original, thanks to its roguelite nature and multiplayer focus. That multiplayer focus is one of the weaker parts of Elden Ring Nightreign, which lacks standard features like cross-play and voice chat. The multiplayer failings of Elden Ring Nightreign make me nervous for Duskbloods, a Switch 2 exclusive FromSoftware game coming in 2026. The game is described as being a PvPvE game, where up to eight players must battle each other and NPC bosses. Duskbloods also being multiplayer focused, has made me nervous after what I saw from Elden Ring Nightreign.
