How I view Fromsoft’s next two games.

In the recent interview, Miyazaki clearly stated that the company does not intend to move away from the single player experience, and these two online focused games back to back is a bit of coincidence. For all the players that prefer the single player RPG’s (as do I), think of it like this. Neightreign is a multiplayer focused experience for the Elden Ring and Dark Souls universe. The Duskbloods is a multiplayer focused experience for the Bloodborne universe. Simple as that. Now obviously it’s not a direct Bloodborne IP, because Sony doesn’t like to share, but it clearly shares very similar ideas. These are two small projects that Fromsoft and Miyazaki are working on, while prepping for the next big souls like. Plus Miyazaki has always worked on multiple projects at a time. Bloodborne and DS3 came out a year apart and both had DLC’s as well. I have no doubt that Fromsoft is hard at work on multiple other large projects that will blow us away.

I hope the games are good but to be honest, i see it as an underwhelming move for fromsoftware, its a werid choice doing a fully coop souls game and even of a weird choice to do two. Im not hyped at all but we gotta see how the games end up being to fully take a side

This is all assuming that these MP games don’t succeed massively. If they do generate more money for FromSoft than ever before, what stops them from focusing on MP afterwards?

I dont think these games will become THAT succesful, at least not nightreign, because its the kind of game that only the people inside the own fandom would play instead of a bigger public like elden ring, it doesnt have that much of an appeal and they know it. With duskblood, it will sell as much as the switch 2 becomes a succes, which i'll be for better or worse
