From Software boss addresses fan concerns after multiplayer game announcements

From Software is primarily known for its single-player action games, but recently, the studio has turned its focus towards multiplayer games, with two co-op titles announced back-to-back. 

This year, From Software will be releasing two titles – neither of which fit the studio's usual single-player mould. Elden Ring: Nightreign has been announced as a co-op spin-off to the original single-player game, and just this week, From Software announced a new multiplayer game – The Duskbloods, releasing exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.

While From Software is experimenting with multiplayer games right now, studio boss, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has addressed fan concerns, stating that the studio is not shifting away from the single-player games it is best known for: “We still intend to actively develop single-player focused games that embrace our more traditional style”.

Elden Ring: Nightreign and The Duskbloods stand out in From Software's library. Both are PvPvE titles, inviting players to team up to take down bosses, and each other. While Elden Ring: Nightreign has gameplay elements taken directly from Elden Ring, The Duskbloods seems to take inspiration from a different fan-favourite title, Bloodborne.

KitGuru Says: After these two titles, I fully expect From Software's next game reveal to be for a single-player game. Future From Software multiplayer efforts will no doubt get the greenlight or be scrapped based on the performance of Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods.
