#32 =
Last official trailer: 22/08/2026 (48 days ago)
Also known as: Duskbloods, The Duskbloods FromSoftware
The Duskbloods is #32 in the HypeTracker ranking, steady this week, with 18.4 M measured views, including +82 k over the last 7 days. Its hype is driven 60% by creator buzz.
This week in the comments
This week was dominated by Outside Xbox/Oxtra's 'we played it' video, finally confirming Duskbloods is a competitive multiplayer game — a major letdown for many who hoped for a solo Bloodborne successor. The tone stays largely skeptical or resigned, though a curious minority praised the aesthetics and the network test.
Multiplayer: a late and bitter discovery
About 40% of this week's comments express disappointment at learning (sometimes only now) that the game is purely competitive multiplayer, seen as incompatible with FromSoft's lore-driven exploration.
The network test reassures a few players
A handful of commenters who joined the network test report an enjoyable experience despite unclear modifier explanations, tempering the prevailing pessimism.
The new studio setup sparks chatter
Nearly 15% of comments focus on the camera framing and set design of the hosts' new studio rather than the game itself — a sign the announcement itself generated little excitement.
The entry price, a recurring obstacle
The combined Switch 2 + online subscription cost comes up in nearly a quarter of comments as the main deterrent, extending a debate already established since the announcement.
Top reactions and controversies
The Switch 2 exclusivity, an open wound
ControversyThe most divisive and enduring topic: part of the community refuses on principle to buy a Switch 2 for one game, while others defend Nintendo's choice as a logical business bet. This debate runs through every period without fading.
The 'Bloodborne 2' that dare not speak its name
Dominant takeSince the April 2025 reveal, the most repeated joke is that Duskbloods is a 'legally distinct' Bloodborne 2, since Sony never released the rights. This running gag structures a huge share of discussion, mixing nostalgia and irony aimed at Sony.
Mourning the lost single-player game
Dominant takeA very stable core of comments laments FromSoft moving away, with Nightreign then Duskbloods, from its solo/narrative formula toward multiplayer experiences, hoping for a quick return to a true Bloodborne successor.
Mandatory PvP: the breaking point
ControversyMany would accept a multiplayer FromSoft title if PvP stayed optional; the fact it's mandatory at match's end sharply divides those who see it as a betrayal of the series' DNA from those praising the experimentation.
Miyazaki as the ultimate reassurance
Dominant takeMiyazaki's name constantly serves as an argument for trust: many commenters say they accept the multiplayer gamble only because he's at the helm, citing his reassuring interviews about the future of single-player titles.
Nightreign, a controversial testbed
ControversyA recurring theory holds that Nightreign served as a testbed for Duskbloods; some lament this, feeling Nightreign was abandoned too quickly in favor of the new project, while others dispute any real chronological link.
