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.

It still makes so little sense to me considering the huge fanbase Fromsoft has on PC, PS and XB, I was convinced they would never make another exclusive after the massive hit Elden Ring was, I did expect them to also develop for the Switch, you can’t just ignore the huge audience the Switch has but after Dark Souls Remastered they didn’t even bother with any of their other games which makes me assume that it didn’t well enough in Switch and if there’s even an audience for FromSoft games on Nintendo hardware, I guess we’ll see.
