From software is primarily known for its big single player titles., Dark Souls, you know them all. But lately the grandiose soullike developer seems to dance something out of line. So withBorn an online coop-roguelike, while Duskblood a PVPVE game that appears exclusively on the Switch 2. Overall, however, the players should not worry that from software now directs their focus towards the multiplayer, says Hidetaka Miyazaki in oneInterview with Nintendo.
From software does not indulge in the multiplayer hype
"As already mentioned, it is essentially an online multiplayer title, but that does not mean that we as a company have decided to align our titles more on multiplayer mode in the future," said the studio boss. "The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Elden Ring has also been announced, and we still have the intention of actively developing single player games like this that embody our more traditional style."
Here and there everyone try something new and especially the PVPVE structure, which now follows The Duskbloods, Miyazaki has always found it interesting, according to his own statements. In the interview, he also goes closer to the new title for Switch 2 and explains more about the scene and the characters.
Miyazaki gives tons of details about The Duskbloods
"In terms of concept, they are similar to the vampires, but they are not portrayed as the terrible monsters that are connected to traditional vampirism," said Miyazaki. "We tried to extract the romantic aspects that we found on concepts such as vampires and 'blood' interesting and to reinterpret them as the Bloodsworn."
In addition, there is no direct place or a special time where The Duskbloods plays. This is because the Bloodsworn is called at different times and at different locations. "There are more traditional cards in the Gothic or Victorian style as well as those that represent the last few years of early modern times, such as the map that can be seen in the trailer on the trailer."
As Miyazaki explains, every character has the opportunity to attack from a distance and has superhuman jumps and speed. Overall, there will be more than a dozen different characters from which you can choose. In a match, up to eight players will then compete at once to get some rewards to improve their characters. The last surviving player normally wins - unless there are special victory conditions that require the defeat of a boss.
Victory points that you can maintain through certain actions, such as fighting, are also crucial for the outcome of a match. In addition, players can summon special entities that fight at their side.
Did you also see the winged rat in the trailer? She is a small hub companion who is available to you with advice. "We tried something cute for a change. Although I have to say that this figure is actually an older man," explains Miyazaki and says that the little figure reminds a little of Nintendo, "in the spirit of the partnership."
