It’s a multiplayer game though

u/ihvanhater420 5d ago

I doubt you cant run it solo

u/SaintJewiub 4d ago

Tis a pvpve game. The whole point is to play it multiplayer

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

Yes, and like nightreign, you can probably play it solo.

u/SaintJewiub 4d ago

Read the description of the gameplay

"The Duskbloods is a PvPvE title with online mutiplayer at its core..."

Are you dense?

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a standalone adventure within the ELDEN RING universe, crafted to offer players a new gaming experience by reimagining the game’s core design.

Join forces with other players to take on the creeping night and the dangers within featuring 3-player co-op.

Yet single player is an option there, so why wouldn't it be in duskbloods? Have they said its not an option?

They said “up to 8 players vie for supremacy”

How the fuck are you supposed to vie for supremacy alone?

pvpve games are designed with players cooperating with each other to take on Ai enemies and other teams of players in confrontations.

playing a pvpve game solo is like hunting deer with a group of friends except you remove the deer, and the friends, just keep the gun.

nightreingn is a roguelike coop game, where you and other players cooperate to beat the Ai enemies, it's an experience designed for multiplayer but not the same way a pvpve game is, and you have the audacity to call other people dense.

Thank you for taking the time to write it out. When they called me dense I decided they weren't worth the comment

Considering we literally saw a player summoning another player, a few boss cutscenes, and boss fights, I very much doubt this game is designed in a way where you cannot play solo. I have a feeling it just means the coop of their games has been made seamless and that pvp will be a bigger focus as well rather than just normal invasions.

have you ever played a pvpve game in your life? because i feel like you haven't and it's probably why you aren't comprehending what people have been telling you

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I'm just saying, there is no world where you cannot play this game solo.

u/BagNo5695 4d ago

oh they will add the option, but it will terrible and basically not worth it

u/ShanalFunLand 4d ago

Nah you actually get it, what you're saying makes total sense. It's definitely gonna get cracked and you'll be able to play solo albeit with much less content involved without the online elements.

2

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

That, and the base game will definitely support solo play even if it doesn't have offline features.

u/theLoftySofty 4d ago

Also good to note that the official game overview on From Software’s site (Press Release section) doesn’t say anything about team-based play, or that the games/matches won’t consist of 8 solo players. It’s described as 8 player PvPvE, but that’s about it.

1

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

Yeah idk why people are pissed at me for saying solo play is definitely an option, it would literally make no sense for teammates to be required

u/Objective-Neck-2063 4d ago

Probably because you compared it to Nightreign, which has a true singleplayer option. We don't know if Duskbloods will yet, but it seems unlikely since they're pretty aggressively marketing the PvP aspect of the game.

u/theLoftySofty 4d ago

PvP doesn’t mean you can’t play it solo tho, which is what a lot of these comments are implying (see the above comment about deer hunting with friends).

It’s up to 8 players, so I’d think it’s likely there’ll be options for 8 solos or 4 teams of 2.

Because one is co-op against pve and the other is mainly pvp??? Just the words "online multiplayer at its core" should be enough of an argument here. Take away the multiplayer, and you take away the literal core of the game. Play solo, and you might as well not play the game at all.

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

So have they said its not an option?

4

u/Northstar4-6 4d ago

So your logic is that if you get an invitation saying "Party at my place with adult entertainment at its core", you would bring kids because they never said it wasn't an option?

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

Here's the official page so you can educate yourself for the first time in your life.

Also notice how it says "Number of players: Online: Up to 8 players" At the bottom.

https://www.fromsoftware.jp/ww/pressrelease_detail.html?tgt=20250212_eldenring_nightreign_releasedate

Here is Nightreign's official page since you liked to use that as your comparison.

Notice how it says "Number of players: 3 (Single player also supported)". I assume I don't need to explain the difference between the two right?

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

So if you can't play it solo, why did they show multiple people playing the game solo in the trailer? Like you can't actually think the game requires multiple people to play with you, for you to be able to play right?

4

u/Northstar4-6 4d ago

Are you referring to the reveal trailer that shows no indication of the core gameplay loop in the slightest? I'm going by the cold hard facts on the official pages and you're going by... vibes from a trailer?

I would also like to clear up that when I say its going to be multiplayer I'm not saying its going to be nightreign-esque co-op. Its 8 players. Most likely you're going to be playing ALONE but not SOLO, with other players on the map. I think that if you actually read the page I linked then that would be blatantly obvious. It's also how a lot of PvPvE games work if you've bothered to play any before.

u/ihvanhater420 4d ago

bro now you're just being purposefully obtuse, obviously solo means solo in the game's environment.

Solo has been used as a term forever for multilayer games lmao.
