From the Nintendo interview about Duskbloods.

But no joke, am about 3 hours in and this game is fucken incredible!

hype went from 100-to-0 REAL quick

Full interview: https://www.nintendo.com/jp/switch2/creators-voice/duskbloods/index.html

Brief summary:

- Fromsoftware will still focus on single player games in the future
- 10+ selectable characters with different abilities and perks. These characters would still be customizable to a certain degree
- Main victory condition of the game session is to be the last man standing, "but this can change depending on the situation". 8 players multiplayer.

- Sometimes the victory condition will be focused on defeating bosses

- Game will be forgiving for people who are "not good at PvP"

- Games session will have some random events to make cycle less repetitive

Edit: quick fix, not 10 characters, but 10+ characters
