FromSoftware's The Duskbloods stirred up a lot of conversation when it was revealed as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, partly because of that unexpected partnership, partly because of how it's a multiplayer-focused game, and partly because of the speculation that comes from showing off a mysterious rat thing at the end of your trailer. We now know that the winged rat creature is actually the studio's best attempt at doing something "Nintendo-esque" for a change.
Cute creatures aren't exactly what you think of when it comes to the studio behind Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and Sekiro, but soulslike maestro and The Duskbloods director Hidetaka Miyazaki said that's exactly what the team were going for in a new Creator's Voice blog.
