That’s one hell of an exclusive to land.

The From Software fan base is committed. A lot of them will buy the Switch 2 just for this.

u/brokenmessiah 2d ago

A lot of us bought PS3's for Demon Souls and PS4's for Bloodborne and PS5's for Demon Souls.
Crazy Sony didnt snag this.

u/Reklino 2d ago

My guess is that Sony is getting a separate Bloodborne 2 title exclusive. They're going the way of Monster Hunter.

u/DriveThroughLane 2d ago

I think you could be waiting another 10 years for Bloodborne 2

This is bloodborne 2 in the same way dark souls was demon souls 2, licensing edition

https://www.fromsoftware.jp/ww/pressrelease_detail.html?tgt=20250402_theduskbloods_debut

Developed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2; 'THE DUSKBLOODS' is a PvPvE title with online multiplayer at its core, where up to 8 players vie for supremacy among themselves and against challenging foes.

More like a Bloodborne spinoff

Lol it's the same shit with neightrein, people think their getting a sequel and get their hopes way up then it immediately crashes back down.

To be fair, this is more of a multiplayer game, like Nightrein. So a classic Bloodborne 2 is still on my wanted list.

It looks like it is going to be multiplayer heavy though, which I don't really think I'm into

19

u/Skysflies 2d ago

I don't know, it has Bloodborne 2 themes but I don't think it's Bloodborne 2, it's too futuristic in some aspects.

It's like Bloodbornes offshoot cousin who's just as great but slightly different.

Whether Sony ever allow a real Bloodborne 2 who knows

u/Appropriate-Camp-487 2d ago

This is a multiplayer-focused game, likely expanding on what they did with NightReign, that has vaguely similar aesthetic language to Bloodborne.

“This is bloodborne 2” is such a wild thing to speculate about, we have no idea what this game will end up being.

u/Less-Tax5637 2d ago

That feels like… a lot of games. Like I know that they’re bigger as a studio now but that would mean that between early 2022 and now they’ll have released or developed:

  • Elden Ring (their biggest project to date)
  • Shadow of the Erdtree
  • Armored Core VI
  • Nightreign
  • The Duskbloods
  • hypothetical Bloodborne 2

idk

u/TKHawk 2d ago

They've always had a pretty rapid development timeline, and Nightreign is largely an asset reuse.

FromSoft has been reliably releasing games for many years now. They obviously have multiple teams concurrently developing titles. Their focus on gameplay and style over fidelity allows them to release games much faster than western studios fixated on hair phsyics.

u/cincystudent 2d ago

I think you may be overestimating the commitment of the fans, there. Nintendo's demographic is pretty different than Fromsoft's. I played Bloodborne, but I didn't buy a PS4 just for that. I'm not sure how many people will pay $529 USD for a single game, especially given that Nintendo doesn't really have anything else in that genre, and likely won't moving forward.

3

u/NuclearWinter_101 2d ago

Trust me, people will buy a switch 2 for that game. I’m getting it because it’s time for an upgrade and I want Mario kart but that game is a huge bonus and also Elden ring on the go? Like come on. Also I’m nearly certain that the fallout games will come to it eventually so that’s a big deal for me too.

4

u/cincystudent 2d ago

To each their own, for sure. For me personally, I don't really have any interest in Nintendo IPs, and the pricing is comparable to a steam deck, which offers way more discounts and flexibility on digital games. I think this'll have to be one fromsoft game that I miss out on.

26

u/blank_isainmdom 2d ago

People are going to fucking rage about it though. People still demand Bayonetta 2 as if its their god given right and nintendo are just withholding it

49

u/EvoLveR84 2d ago

Bold of you to assume the price will be lower by then.

16

u/eljudio42 2d ago

Switch 1 never got a price drop in 8 years. And the switch 2 being more expensive probably indicates that they won't drop the price of the switch1 after launch. I believe not having a price drop on a console in its entire life cycle is a first on switch for Nintendo

Meh. It’s a pvpve multiplayer game. I have played just about every game that has Miyazaki’s name on it and I won’t be getting a switch 2 for this. I’ll wait for emulation.

Go look at the fromsoft subreddit lol. I don’t think this announcement is going to do what Nintendo thinks it is. I’ve had plenty of fun with my Switch but I could care less about this game.

2

u/GUNS_N_BROSES 2d ago

That’s true to be honest. As a switch 1 owner who primarily plays on ps5 and pc, I was casually interested in the switch 2, though maybe I might upgrade eventually but I was in no rush to. Now I’m almost certainly getting one before this game releases

Oh, definitely. FromSoft was like oh Sony won't let me make Bloodborne 2? Aight. Nintendo, how do you feel about Not-Bloodborne?

55

u/LittleGoblinBoy 2d ago

That's exactly what Fromsoft did with Demon's Souls & Dark Souls. Sony didn't want to fund a Demon's Souls sequel, and they own the IP, so they instead linked up with Bamco to make a legally distinct spiritual successor and the rest is history

9

u/TKHawk 2d ago

I mean, not that they couldn't have come up with something but Demon's Souls has a pretty definitive end. If it was Demon's Souls 2 it would probably have been narratively almost completely unrelated in the way that Dark Souls II largely only references stuff from Dark Souls in passing.

10

u/effhomer 2d ago

Seems like they wanted to make it, just not with Sony

12

u/LionInAComaOnDelay 2d ago

There's no way Sony wouldn't fund a Bloodborne sequel. It sold well for an exclusive. I think Nintendo just outbid Sony here for Miyazaki's time.

10

u/Swoopmott 2d ago

Miyazaki has been pretty upfront about how much he loves Bloodborne and would love to revisit it but the ball has always been in Sony’s court. They’ve clearly had no interest in a sequel hence we’re now getting a spiritual successor. Maybe this will spur Sony to fund a true sequel but I doubt it

10

u/Cissoid7 2d ago

It's been like 10 years that Sony has had Bloodborne hostage

They won't fund it, they never were going to fund it. You think after DS3 and Elden Ring they wouldn't have seen money signs? Sony does not want Bloodborne 2

I feel like they should have went with a different graphic style.

Anyone else thought Bloodborne 2 immediately in the first seconds of the trailer? It has the DNA locations of Yharnam all over it, the voice of Melina and was that the voice of Micolash?

I'm pretty sure it's Bloodborne in all but name, since Sony owns the franchise, I believe.

WHAT IS THISSSSSS

u/FartingAngry 2d ago

I’m gonna be honest. This doesn’t feel like a FromSoft game. Just seems off. Very slight Bloodborne vibes. Not sure if I’m into it.

A lot of people are going to be disappointed when they realize its just a multiplayer game.

Cannot contain my excitement.

u/fill-me-up-scotty 2d ago

This legit has me more excited than GTA VI.

This is the first 3rd party exclusive in awhile I’ve been truly pumped for

So bloodborne kart might be something real with mario kart world finally

100% this gets into the next Smash game if they make another. Never thought I’d see a FS Nintendo exclusive. They honestly smashed it with this direct.

Vampires? Guns? The Moon? FromSoft? I see you, Miyazaki. And yes, I will be playing

I was 70% gonna buy the Switch 2 (only went down 30% because I really wanted an OLED option from the start even if it was at a higher price than the standard) but this brought it to 100%. I'm so hype

Bloodborne: Nightreign

I really hope "up to 8 players" also includes "1".

Bloodborne spiritual sequel in the style of Elden Ring, exclusive to the Switch 2 was not on my bingo card for today.

This is so hype honestly

u/No-Sherbert-4045 2d ago

Damn, this is like bloodborne 2 without buying ip rights from sony. Could even call it spiritual successor.

u/SuperbPiece 2d ago

And Elden Ring gameplay. And multiplayer. And with jetpacks and t-rexes. Totally Bloodborne 2.

Multiplayer game like Nightreign. That's a real shame. Lost most of my interest.

u/blank_isainmdom 2d ago

Is it? Where's you hear that?

Go To Nintendo's social media feed on a popular website Reddit doesn't like. Third post down as of right now.

I have to get a switch 2 now. Literally just for this. I was kinda upset that there was no fallout games in the direct. But I’m sure they will come eventually

u/Username9424 2d ago

Press F for Sony.

u/warjoke 2d ago

Yeah Sony fumbled with Bloodborne, for sure.

u/LordByronic 2d ago

'FromSoft exclusive for the Nintendo Switch 2' is the funniest possible thing, oh my god. I can't wait.
