Not Everyone Is Excited For The Duskbloods: Gloomwood Publisher Says Escape From Tarkov Has "Done Irreparable Fu**ing Damage To The Game Industry"

A new IP, sure, but a FromSoftware one.

Nobody saw that coming.

As the trailer opened with an NPC muttering about blood, everyone perked up.

It sure looked that way, with the slick Soulslike combat and steampunk aesthetic only hammering the idea home.

Except, FromSoftware quickly clarified that The Duskbloods is PvPvE.

So, even in spirit, it’s not Bloodborne 2.

I get it, I’m not the target audience for these games.

I just like regular a** games, but I’m old.

I get it, I’m not the target audience for these games."

“This is an online multiplayer title at its core,“Miyazaki said of The Duskbloods.

Granted, it doesn’t sound like The Duskbloods will be a traditional extraction shooter, either.

So far, that sounds more like a Nightreign spin-off for Bloodborne than it does Escape from Tarkov.
