Miyazaki's New Game Can Fly! Triple Air Jump and More: Foreign Media Asks, 'Is This FromSoftware?'

Summary

A hands-on preview report of The Duskbloods, the upcoming PvPvE multiplayer action game from FromSoftware, has stirred excitement among players. Exclusively for Switch 2, the game will hold a dedicated network test from August 21 to 24. According to the report by Dengeki Online, the game's movement and action feel are as smooth as Elden Ring Nightreign, but with a surprising twist: characters can perform a triple air jump after leaping from cliffs, and have access to air evasions, surpassing the mobility of previous Soulslike titles. Some characters can even use rockets for high-speed traversal, greatly expanding gameplay freedom. The editor couldn't help but exclaim, 'Is this really a FromSoftware game?!' This bold evolution in action design not only signals FromSoftware's willingness to experiment with faster, more dynamic combat, potentially attracting a broader audience, but also highlights a deep collaboration with Nintendo for a new exclusive IP, setting a new benchmark for hardcore games on Switch 2. With the network test approaching, players are eagerly anticipating what this fresh take on multiplayer action will offer.
