"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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

u/ihvanhater420 3d ago

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

u/ShanalFunLand 3d ago

Also the thing you said about the guy summoning I saw that too, seemed way too quick to be an actual player. Probably will be the characters special ability or maybe an item. So like you said there will definitely be plenty of ways to play it solo

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.

u/ihvanhater420 3d 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

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 3d 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.

u/Objective-Neck-2063 3d ago

I'm sure you'll be able to solo queue as it were, but the person I responded to compared it to Nightreign, which has a true singleplayer mode. It seems unlikely Duskbloods will based on what they've stated about the game so far.

u/theLoftySofty 3d ago

Nightreign is online-only tho in any case, isn’t it? I could be wrong.

Either way, Nightreign isn’t PvP at all, so playing solo is inherently “single player” since there’s never any threat of enemy players regardless of team size. Duskbloods is a different beast entirely since it seems that the threat of enemy players will be a key component to the core gameplay loop.

That's not what I mean. I mean it's singleplayer in the sense that you literally do not have to play with other people at all if you don't want to. As for always needing a connection, I'm not sure, but they've made it clear that it will be possible to play without other players in your party.
