Donating money to FromSoft because letting us play the game for free.

Duskies(name for TheDuskbloods fan) we should donate money to FromSoft because they are letting us play the game for free! Even if you don't get in for a network test you should donate because they spend their time collecting our information for the network test. That way they will seem that we love TheDuskbloods and wont cancel the game!

If you want something to read that (might) be duskbloods flavored …

check out Fevre Dream by George R R Martin. this is one of Miyazaki’s favorite books and apparently he used to make his employees read it when working on a project. duskbloods might be the most fevre dream inspired project of his yet

its also just an amazing book if you need something to read.

it’s over…

Part of me can’t believe they misspelled August with July. For those who installed the codes early on and entered the game at the time, hopefully you managed to try it out, I myself only got about 4 matches in till I kept queuing up with Queiflord$ and lobter who made the game about the most miserable experience I’ve ever had

I really enjoyed the boss design I think reusing radagon and making him were a wolf/maid costume made sense in the context that there vampires ( I totally Didt need to see him make out with the frog tho)

I think this game has a very promising future if release on the other consoles but it worked well enough on switch. I really liked the voice chat mechanic of changing every slur into a little positive message. I think it’s way better to hear “I’m gonna crash the (your appreciated) out if u let him buff up again before Ulting U HAD IT RIGHT THERE YOU (kind soul with a warm heart) then the alternative.

Lowk excited

My take on Duskbloods PvP

I think it should be more akin to fighting an NPC. So very few heals, but a large healthpool. Maybe when you instigate a battle, your opponents health shows big on your screen like a boss bar.

I hope The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Tarnished Edition have in-game trophies to account for the Switch 2’s lack of an achievement system

It’s not a huge thing, but being able to show off your platinum or look back and see when you were playing a lot is just really cool to me and the fact that you can’t do it for most third party games on Switch is why I usually buy them on PlayStation instead. Obviously I don’t expect anything comprehensive as an automatic screenshot system, and especially not a clip considering the hardware. But just a simple time, date, and description in a trophies menu would really do wonders for the port. And obviously this’ll be less of a problem for Duskbloods cause it’s both exclusive and multiplayer but I’d still want it there too.

What's the goal/happening in a game of Duskbloods ?

That's probably my biggest issue with the game as of now because it's vague, I understand the PvPvE but I'm not sure of like how long a game will be, what you will have to do to win, if there will be bosses, if there will be a solo mode at all, compared to Nightreign we know very little about what's happening in the game.

But hyped nonetheless, even if I won't be able to play it day one because I won't have a switch 2 before a while

Anyone get an email confirmation after network test signup?

I didn't get one and am paranoid I put my email in wrong. When I go to the network test site, I also don't see anywhere I can check or change the address I used. Thanks!

Guys,... hear me out!!

It is still somewhat of a Nintendo game and he never made it into Smash as a playable character. THIS IS THE CHANCE...

How did you guys like the Network Test?

I thought it was fucking amazing. It’s a bummer that it was only available for a few hours today and that the game was delayed until 2028 for those who didn’t make it into the Network Test, but damn that left a good impression. Orph the Unspoken is already one of the GOAT intro bosses, and the way they seamlessly blend the online and single player aspects of the game is masterclass From game design.

This is gonna be one of Miyazaki’s best. See you in a few short months, and 2028 for those who missed out!

New Duskbloods image. Time to overanalyze it!

Hey guys it's me again.

Let's start this off by saying i do NOT appreciate how low quality these recent images have been. For the CNT information announcement and the Applications announcement, both accompanying images have been quite noticeable worse quality. But i won't complain because it is technically new content for us to eat on.

I will also say that i do appreciate these random key arts with the Duskbloods logo in the bottom left, we will probably see another one when the Application results are closed or revealed, and maybe more throughout august?

Okay lets start analyzing.

  1. As pointed out by user u/wuwue earlier today, those candles and statue in the back do infact match things that were shown in the Duskbloods Initial trailer, albeit not the exact same positioning, but being just the same assets. I don't think these rooms are the exact same, but i also do believe that they are related. The window/lighting shape in the back of this new screenshot look very similar to the one in the trailer, and there's a very good chance these rooms are within the same building, just far apart. (Another cool thing to note- the blinded statues are also seen in that far off room, included in the 3rd image) Nice ironeye wuwue!

  2. There are several corpses in here. In case you glimpsed over them, which is totally understandable, there are roughly 9 dead bodies in this room, and while it's a little difficult to discern, a few dead bodies laying against the pillar on the left there. The implications of this are dire, of course lore-wise i assume it's going to be something terrible. Some may not have noticed this, but on the table underneath the big glowing symbol is indeed a dead body!

  3. Okay now the symbol. Obviously this could be anything but i wanted to point out something that i don't think many people noticed; At first glance it looks like this is something floating above the centre table right? Well take a closer look, and you can see that this big glowing symbol is in fact floating ABOVE a symbol that is actually glowing ON THE GROUND. Yes sir there is a big golden circle on the ground that is most likely clearly interactable. I think this is something that you find within an active match and have to interact with.
    OR- or- this symbol is still in the center of the room floating above the table, and there is just a big glowing spot on the ground for your Bloodsworn to stand in, that still interacts with this glowing symbol. I have a theory about this so hear me out-

My theory is that this has something to do with the destined companions/rivals mechanic. Or if it's not exactly that, i have a feeling this is something that more than one person can interact with. I say this because, i think that on the OTHER SIDE of this table, it seems pretty likely that there is another golden spot on the ground. The big bright indicator would obviously be easier for a player to know where to go and what to interact with, and i think it's plausible for there to be two golden spots on either side of the table.

The reason i believe this is some sort of interaction that involves more than one player is just what i interpret from the symbol. This is obviously two swords crossing, with what kind of seems like a giant sword down the center; which clearly symbolize player vs. player dueling. To be honest i also kind of get a player-working-with-another-player feeling from this symbol; from the grand golden colour and both swords being pointed downwards, this symbol gives off a friendlier positive vibe as well.

Which is why i'm conflicted. I know this could be anything. Honestly, judging from the several dead bodies, maybe this is also a negative thing. This symbol feels like something straight from Elden ring, which i know is stupid to say, but it feels like one of the great runes. There is a very good chance that whatever this is could also be some sort of upgrade? Like a direct combat upgrade, or hey locate the player with the most victory points, or hey challenge another person right now.

  1. okay easy one for last- John Duskblood in the middle of the screen hitting a damn Make Contact emote. Okay obviously it's not exactly Make Contact but its clearly one of the emotes we will get. And wierdly enough, no it is not the same one that Pyjama Man is doing, his might be some sort of skill, seeing him stanced up with the axe out to his right, but now this is clearly an emote. Something to note: John's right arm isn't pointed straight up, but moreso leaning forwards and upwards, like the right arm in the "Let us go together" emote from elden ring.

And well that's pretty much all the stuff in this image i can talk about. Obviously i could talk about the candles on the floor or the rags covering the statues, but i don't know if there's much we can learn from them right now. This is all i got right now. To reiterate, keep an eye out for more of these promo images with the logo in the bottom left. I predict the next one will be posted when the applications close or when the results will be announced.

Just one month guys. Actually less than one month. Less than one month.

Also look at the funny little Duskbloods png that was on the nintendo website lol hey little guy

little chuddy
