FromSoftware fans can breathe a sigh of relief—single-player experiences aren’t going anywhere. Despite the recent reveal of The Duskbloods, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive with a strong multiplayer focus, President and Director Hidetaka Miyazaki has reaffirmed the studio’s commitment to solo-driven adventures.
Announced just months after the reveal of Elden Ring: Nightreign, The Duskbloods has sparked discussion and concern within the FromSoft community. The sudden pivot toward a new online multiplayer title led some fans to worry about a permanent change in the studio’s direction. But Miyazaki has stepped in to calm those fears.
“The Duskbloods is an online multiplayer title at its core, but this doesn’t mean that we as a company have decided to shift to a more multiplayer-focused direction with titles going forward,” Miyazaki shared in a recent Nintendo Creator’s Voice Blog. “We still intend to actively develop single-player focused games.”
This statement is more than just reassurance—it’s a promise that FromSoftware will continue to craft the deeply immersive, narrative-rich single-player experiences it’s known for. Titles like Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Bloodborne have left an undeniable mark on gaming, delivering challenging yet personal journeys that fans still cherish.
While innovation remains a pillar of FromSoftware’s philosophy, the core of its identity—delivering unforgettable solo adventures—remains intact. Whether you’re looking forward to the dark multiplayer battles of The Duskbloods or hoping for another atmospheric, single-player masterpiece, Miyazaki has made it clear: both experiences can coexist under the FromSoft banner.
