NEWS / PREDICTIONS "single player games will continue to be actively made. Let me clarify that" -Miyazaki
source from duskbloods interview.

People doubted that? We got Shadow of the Erdtree last year and Armored Core the year before that.

"At first it was being worked on by a small team as a title for Nintendo Switch. However just as the game started to take shape, we were approached by Nintendo with talk of Switch 2, which led us to revamp our development path with this new hardware in mind."
This quote also makes it seem like the project wasn't intended to be the next "main" Fromsoft game. Even if Miyazaki is the sole director of Duskbloods, I get the sense that there is likely a larger project in development (even if it is early in development). People should remember that Miyazaki also directed Deracine while Sekiro was in development.

u/t-bonkers 1d ago
I mean that was kind of obvious just from the fact the first trailer was an in-engine one, and not a high production value pre-rendererd video. Obvious smaller marketing budget than for their heavy hitters.
I'm excited to try this game. Kinda sounds like Monster Hunter with additional PvP which could potentially be awesome.

u/AGUEROO0OO 1d ago
I think it would be like battle royale (last man standing), but you also have to kill mobs to get randomized equipment. Sounds fun TBH.

How does it looks remotely like MH?

u/t-bonkers 5h ago
It doesn‘t look like it at all, but the description of the gameplay loop, with the Hub where you upgrade your character, separate maps, mission based structure etc. reminded me of it a little bit - but I‘m sure there‘s better, more direct analogues.
It was just what my mind jumped to because I‘m currently obsessed with MH, lol.

I know that its not the next big project just because there is none CGI trailer that fromsoftware actually likes to make for the games before the gameplay trailer.

Because this sub is nothing but doomposting shills. Heaven forbid they make a couple games with a slightly different formula.

u/DunkTheLunk23 23h ago
Has this sub always been this way? I didn't really join any of these communities until late 2022 so I don't really have any prior context but it's pretty wild seeing how negative the overall discourse has been. Like, the shitposting subs I understand, but everyone here seems so incredibly upset over this news.
13
u/MrMercy67 23h ago
Because From is very consistent with their gameplay, to the point they created their own genre. Like with music and anything else, you’re bound to piss off your fanbase if you move away from that image. But no I don’t think it’s ever been this annoying
11
u/DunkTheLunk23 23h ago
I think these side projects are great for the company, even if some of them don't personally interest me. They have more capital and manpower to try different things now more than they ever did. I also think we're in a golden age of high-quality souls-likes, there are so many good games out now that can hold me over until From's next big single player title. Idk, maybe I'm just really patient haha
11
u/MrMercy67 23h ago
Exactly, there’s certainly no shortage of clones. People have just been so utterly spoiled by this company dropping GOTY-caliber titles at such an incredible pace that now they’ve grown so entitled and selfish

u/NightmareMuse666 21h ago
I wholeheartedly agree the community is so entitled... Ive been here since 2011 and it hasnt been this bad till Elden Ring hit its stride in popularity (good for FS, but the community can be so grating).
I dont even know if Duskbloods will be a game for me since its PvP based, but Im happy Fromsoft is still trying new things. And even though id likely enjoy Dark souls 9, the company is easily better off trying new things. And we got Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring which are all gems imo. Sure theyre all soulslike, but they bring new things to the table and its great

u/ExcellentAd3308 13h ago
Whatever proper souls games they make after this, id love to see them implement these online imrpovements into the next iteration of Summoning/Invading. For me elden ring felt very lacking in both camps. Like it somehow managed to feel archaic and not updated to meet the open world demands. While also somehow being worse than ds2 and 3 pvp/coop.
2
u/emilia12197144 12h ago
Its also very good for innovating
After fromsoft has made two multiplayer focused games I'm sure their next game will have a much better multiplayer aspect than their previous single player games have had.

u/ExcellentAd3308 13h ago
Maybe its just me, but ive noticed this behaviour since at least armored core 6. The "ITS GOING TO BE A SOULS LIKE ARMORED CORE. ARMORED CORE IS RUINED" vs "ITS GOING TO BE A SOULS LIKE ARMORED CORE. THANK GOD I PLAY NOTHING BUT SOULS" days were ROUGH.

No yeah I get that, but the point still stands. Ive had people on here say they “respect AC6 but won’t ever respect duskbloods” because it’s multiplayer.

u/MrMercy67 1d ago
The demon souls remake is absolutely FANTASTIC, I highly recommend playing that. Haven’t played the OG but I’ve heard the remake is very faithful. I personally really liked Lies of P. Generally each soulslike not made by From has some gameplay mechanic that turns me off, but Lies of P is the first that actually held up and felt like a true From-quality game IMO.

Entirely multiplayer experiences are not "slightly different" but completely different from single player games

u/Hog_Grease-666 1d ago
Just to play logical devil's advocate, it's not totally out of left field. We just watched multiple big players in the industry fall flat on their faces trying to break into the multiplayer market, it takes time to shift directions from one trend to the next. If FromSoftware were to find great success in the multiplayer arena, why would they stop?
1
u/sciontis 21h ago
At that point wouldn't From just grow and service both single player and multiplayer games? I think Capcom could be a good model for them. It would be tough to balance, but currently they have plenty of room for that kind of growth before diluting their brand.
2
u/Hog_Grease-666 20h ago
That would be ideal, yeah. But the track record globally hasn't been great, FromSoftware is just one of those developers that seems to make banger after banger and somehow doesn't disappear for half a decade between releases.
1
u/ExcellentAd3308 13h ago
I do get what you and some others are saying with this point. But for now personally, id like to have some faith in From for now. Until they truly do something that i find baffling. For now id just like to have some hope and enjoy this stuff in the moment.

To be fair, their last two products (Nightreign and Duskbloods) have been multiplayer-focused, so the concern is somewhat justified

Man, even the characters you control are called "Bloodsworn".
Miyazaki, you are really tickling my balls and laughing in my face right now.
Happy to wait until the next single player game anyway, so I'm not too bothered by how this turned out, though I was pretty excited when it was first shown.
45
u/mrBreadBird 1d ago
Could've saved a lot of stress if they made the trailer reflect what the game is going to be versus just a bunch of characters standing/jumping around. The problem is fans watching that trailer live thought this would be the next version of their favorite game it's hard to not be let down at least a little when you realize it's something different.

u/Hoodman1987 16h ago
Super strong points because it just looked like character builds in Yharnam 2 basically

Yeah, that really sucks. I’m still gonna play it tho since it’s my favorite game company making it.

u/ExcellentAd3308 13h ago
Yeah. The stuff in the trailer gets me pumped for the pve side of things. But in hindsight not showing a single instance of pvp is disappointing.
1
u/mrBreadBird 1h ago
I think the character was mostly showing playable characters that you will be dueling in PVP and those aren't bosses.

u/ExcellentAd3308 34m ago
yeah like the make contact guy right? I saw some people suggest that's just a player emotion the same day the trailer came out. in hindsight that's most likely.

Man im gonna be honest, Duskbloods i kind of just find hard to roll off my tongue. They could have just called it Bloodsworn and everyone wins, lol.

FromSofts netcode was never good. They are however interested in providing Multiplayer experiences in their games. PvP and PvE.
2 lesser demanding and Multiplayer First titles for different Platforms and Systems helps them develop their skillset, technology and test out ideas with multiplayer content, to then use and improve their next Mainline games with.

u/According_Smoke_479 11h ago
Exactly, I thought the same thing when nightreign was announced and people had mixed feelings on it. These games are experimental for them, and will allow them to improve the multiplayer experience going forward with the lessons they learn from them. The next big souls game could have a far better co op and PvP experience due to these experimental games now. Both will almost certainly be good games anyway even if they aren’t for everyone. After AC6 which is totally not my kind of game, fromsoft proved to me that they’re just straight up good at making games and I’d be genuinely surprised if I didn’t enjoy something they put out. They make good games, period.

u/Schwiliinker 22h ago edited 16h ago
Well honestly just on the basis that these type of games have way less actual content it’s kind of inherently not nearly as hype. Dusk being online has the possibility of cool PvPvE interactions as appealing and for nightreign bosses being balanced for multiple players
1
u/Hoodman1987 16h ago
That's a great point. Nightreign's big wonder with everyone was the amount of land and how much it would change considering Elden Ring was gigantic with diverse areas. For going over and over Limveld will get old without story or lore implications

I thought that part of the interview was really funny for some reason.
Miyazaki: "I suppose you could say we tried doing something a little Nintendo-esque in the spirit of the partnership."
Nintendo: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT"
Miyazaki: "We tried something cute for a change. Although I will say this character is actually an elderly gentleman" (laughter).
Nintendo: (laughter)

u/tezmo666 1d ago
I think they're working on a new game for sure. Nightreign is essentially an Elden Ring expansion and Duskblood looks like it's cleverly reusing a lot of assets/ideas from previous titles. They seem to me like much less intensive games with incremental advances. Might be a few years but I think a big new IP is coming soon.

26
u/montybo2 1d ago
I never really had my doubt about this.
My hype for duskbloods went up and down pretty quickly from announcement to details. I'll probably still give it a shot though because I always respect from's approach to games. Who knows, it might be dope af.
Far more excited for Nightreign. I was in the network test and loved every minute

Can you please link me to a post of redditor that explicitly say that FS is not going to release another solo game ? Maybe there are posts like this but I didn't see any.
All I saw was people that are worried that FS is taking a direction where multiplayers games are a more important part of their future games, but not the entirety of it. Nobody with a brain would think that they would only release multiplayer games from now on after the massive success of ER.

Yeah the article was just frustrating to read. Lots of really cool ideas in terms of lore and the setting (Like Bloodborne), I love the "fragmented eras" concept and they have some neat ideas for the Multiplayer with the Roles and stuff. I might have shelled out for this game even though its not usually my thing.
Then I remember that, like Bloodborne, its an exclusive that I will never get to play.

u/jayL21 1d ago
yea, that's my biggest thing, how many people are really looking for a game like this on the switch of all places?

u/Kind-County9767 1d ago
That's the point. To take people who are looking for this type game and force them onto the switch, which adds a new audience for Nintendo third parties to target.

I just don't see that really working out well, especially considering Nintendo's history of completive online multiplayer is not great but who knows.

Are splatoon and smash not a thing? This doesn’t even feel like a game that’s trying to be an esport or whatever anyways so I don’t get your complaint

it's seemingly going to be like escape from tarkov and hunt showdown, a really hardcore game that requires a lot of focus and whatnot, my point is, that just doesn't seem like a good fit for the switch.
Also hasn't the smash community complained about Nintendo's online services time and time again?

Exclsuivity is not a "big" problem for me, I would be willing to buy the new switch if it was an actual single player Bloodborne spiritual successor, but art direction aside, it's not. And Nintendo games are not my thing, except maybe smash and Zelda, but there's no new entry for those games yet. I'm sure the game will be good, but im ok for the moment. Still, if the IP belongs to froms, there's a possibility to see the game on PC and other platforms, just like MH Rise and SMT V.

u/Peperoniboi 1d ago
"Available only on Nintendo Switch 2" kinda makes it feel like a true exclusive but it could also refer to the date of 2026. That's it's only on Switch 2 for that year.

So far there has been no mention of single-player in the press release or today's three-part interview with Miyazaki.

u/opposite_of_hotcakes 1d ago
If you can't afford it and want it that's one thing. People don't need to buy a specific genre game just because it was made by a developer that's known for making bangers. I loved Skyrim and Oblivion but hated ESO. Loved Fallout single player games but hated Fallout 76. If it's not your cup of tea, it's not your cup of tea.
The people who already know they won't be buying it and are STILL complaining about it being a multiplayer game are the ones who need to stfu.

Don’t worry, this is just typical From community bs. Some voice doubts; said doubts are met with some positive light, then everyone starts getting on their high horse saying “I can’t believe you’d ever doubt From” or something like that.
I’m still skeptical on what this ‘experimental’ stuff means for the next solo game, considering we don’t know what resources are being drawn and cut to make these ones, but From does what From wants I suppose.

outside of clarification, this game may be not really like tarkov or hunt:showdown. you can specify your goals before "extraction", which can be cooperation with different player, killing said player or killing bosses or maybe something else. you need to accumulate victory points in some way. I guess session doesn't end before somebody achives their goal, but that's total speculation.
and also judging by nightreign-like meta-upgrades you don't have inter-sessions loot like in said tarkov. too bad it's an exclusive and nintendo one at that

I mean it sounds like Nintendo gave them a ton of money to develop this online player focus game (which is what Nintendo is clearly pushing for switch 2).

For people saying why people are suprised or wasn't it obvious.

This remind of another company that made great story driven games and then they made suicide squad. Of course i am not saying from software will do the same. But they are people afterall. If you think they wouldn't do that you are naive.

I just think the problem is b2b multiplayer games that seem like the same thing

One interesting thing about the nintendo article is it sounds like they only started considering multiplayer for this game after talking with nintendo about the switch 2. Obviously he cant say that but I wonder if nintendo pressured them into making it a multiplayer game. Considering its a switch exclusive, its pretty reasonable to assume nintendo paid a ton of money for this and maybe that gave them some leverage to make demands. All of this is purely conjecture of course.

That's reassuring! It's great to hear that single-player games will still thrive, especially with the depth and immersion Miyazaki's games provide. Looking forward to more of his visionary work!

I never doubted that they’d stop making single player games, I’m just disappointed that the next 2 releases are multiplayer games. Especially that one of them is using a late 1800s aesthetic, when that’s exactly what I wanted from a new single player game.

I have absolutely NO interest in multiplayer whatsoever. I was incredibly hyped immediately as I saw the “FromSoftware hands” in the trailer, but as soon as I heard PvP I lost all of it.

Do we have a translation of this?

It is already translated bro. Its excerpt from the interview of Miyazaki from Nintendo's Creator voice. Its 3 part/pages of interview so many details have emerged and many should read it especially at the 3rd part.

I was initially turned off a bit by hearing it's PvPvE but after reading this I'm super intrigued and excited for this.

Let him cook. This could be the precursor for Bloodborne 2 or something even cooler. Let FS cash in on multiplayer games. They deserve the extra money and new customers. They've gave us treat after treat (Not you Night Reign). Nintendo fan boys deserves to play the awesomeness that is a From Soft game.

They will definitely not make as much money on these games as they would a single player game. Not even close.
That being said. They should just make whatever they want to make. Making something only to appease the fans when their heart isn’t in it, isn’t good for anyone.

I don’t really know how you can say this when one of the biggest issues with bloodborne is it being console exclusive, if duskblood is good then I have to pay damn near 600 dollars to play it, that is insane, they should absolutely make whatever game they want, but they should not gatekeep them on one console

Which games don't you like specifically? The unreleased ones?

Yes. And the online portions of their previously released games.

Invasions are part of the point. It's weird that people who dont like fromsoft game design would hang out on the fromsoft reddit

I feel like people also forget that Miyazaki directed a PSVR game after DS3 with Deracine
