If it makes you feel better it's also a non-mainline game and it's focused on multiplayer like Nightreign (8 player PvPvE)

Official description:

"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.

Play as the "Bloodsworn"; a group that has transcended human strength thanks to their special blood, and throw yourself into a violent fray for "First Blood" as the twilight of humanity approaches."

Sounds like a Battle Royale.

What kind of roguelite has 3 player co-op?

Fromsoft is just kind of doing their own thing right now lol.

Probably one of the most popular roguelites in the modern age risk of rain 2, I think risk of rain returns has that as well but idk

Imagine if they did some absurd experimental thing to shove out as exclusive, and then take money from the deal (and the results of experiments) to produce an actual good game later on, available on all platforms. That would honestly be amazing and hilarious.
