During the recent Switch 2 Direct presentation, viewers were treated to a teaser trailer showcasing this mysterious creature. The rat, adorned with glowing glyphs, stared directly at the camera, sparking curiosity among fans. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed in an interview that this character serves as a hub companion, akin to the fire keepers from the Dark Souls series. "They stay in the hub area, offering advice and guidance to players," he explained.
Miyazaki went on to describe the creative decision behind this new direction: "We wanted to try something cute for a change. Though, let me clarify—it’s actually an elderly gentleman (laughs)." This playful nod to Nintendo's family-friendly charm marks a significant departure for FromSoftware while staying true to its storytelling roots.
As a PvPvE title, The Duskbloods introduces fresh concepts to the studio's repertoire. Fans can anticipate innovative features when the game releases on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. The role of the winged rat companion remains shrouded in mystery, but Miyazaki hinted at exciting developments inspired by the partnership.
For more insights into The Duskbloods, including reactions from Bloodborne enthusiasts and Miyazaki's thoughts on FromSoftware's future in single-player narratives, stay tuned.
