‘The Duskbloods’ is looking really good on Switch 2.<\/p>\n
FromSoftware, Nintendo<\/p>\n
The upcoming FromSoftware Switch 2 game, The Duskbloods<\/a>, received a new trailer and revealed that the game will get a closed network test this Summer.<\/p>\n The closed network test is definitely good news, as the Soulsborne games all have a very specific kind of online multiplayer.<\/p>\n While those games work great on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, the Switch online architecture is rather specific. So having this setup stress tested before launch is a very good thing.<\/p>\n The game itself also looks so much better than it did from some of the earlier trailers, and it goes to show that a lot of what makes a game come together is the final push for polish and optimization before the game is released.<\/p>\n Talking of release dates, while we still don\u2019t have anything specific as yet, the game is meant to be out this year.<\/p>\n A dedicated Soulsborne game for the Switch 2 is definitely something that the console needs, and this game also sounds quite ambitious with 8-player multiplayer.<\/p>\n The game has you play as the Bloodsworn, vampire-like characters with unique abilities and weaponry, including firearms, which does make me think of Bloodborne.<\/p>\n Something that the gothic setting and architecture (shown above) only cements further.<\/p>\n Either way, we\u2019ll know more about how the game plays this Summer, that is, if I can get on the closed network test.<\/p>\n Follow me on X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>. I also manage Mecha Damashii<\/a> and am currently writing regular columns in Japanese about mecha games and mecha anime for both Game*Spark<\/a> and Automaton<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘The Duskbloods’ is looking really good on Switch 2.
