FromSoftware Teases New Games as Switch 2 Partnership Grows

One of the more noteworthy trends in the gaming business is the expanding presence of FromSoftware on Nintendo platforms. This is even more true today, as Nintendo has announced it will be publishing The Duskbloods, a new game from the venerable Japanese studio. Besides that project, Elden Ring is also coming later this year to the Nintendo Switch 2, giving Nintendo gamers a chance to enjoy one of the developer’s most beloved titles.

With Nintendo and FromSoftware working together more and more, there's been a lot of talk about what new games might come out for the Switch 2. Many fans still hope that Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III will be coming to Nintendo’s next-gen hardware. That would mean the entire series could be played on a single system.

Some users have also noted that Dark Souls Remastered may include additional technical changes, especially given the issues with how well it operated on the original Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo fans are delighted to play old games on the new hardware, but now folks are also interested in what FromSoftware may be cooking behind the scenes. There's been speculation about whether the studio's next big project will come to the Switch 2, given that its relationship with Nintendo is at an all-time high.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the head of FromSoftware and a renowned game director, made remarks that sparked new speculation. In an interview about shareholder talks, Miyazaki spoke about the future of Kadokawa Corporation and addressed fans directly. Miyazaki, the brains behind titles such as Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and the upcoming The Duskbloods, said gamers should be excited about both the games that have been announced and those that haven't.

The words have prompted much discussion in the gaming world, with many fans interpreting them as suggesting that several new projects are currently in development. There’s even been some chatter online regarding the possibility of a new Bloodborne game, but there’s been no official word to support these rumors.

Miyazaki's message reminds gamers that the corporation is still focused on meaningful experiences. He also advised fans to look forward to both announced and unannounced initiatives in the coming years. Some fans were hoping for significant new FromSoftware news during Summer Game Fest, but the company only talked about projects already announced. But the studio has plenty of time to show off new games the rest of 2026 and beyond.

Miyazaki is still highly active in the production of The Duskbloods, but FromSoftware has expanded its development team and staff over the past few years.

The corporation has demonstrated that it is receptive to new creative talent while allowing Miyazaki input on the studio's overall direction. Those ways were obvious in Elden Ring: Nightreign, which is managed by creators who grew up under Miyazaki. The game proved that FromSoftware can experiment with diverse play styles while still adhering to many of the design concepts that have made the firm so successful.

Recent games have dabbled with co-op and online options, but many fans are still eager to see what the company’s next great single-player adventure will be. Nightreign has added a co-op option with team boss fights, and The Duskbloods is also intended to take the studio in new directions. This has fueled claims that FromSoftware is also working on a more traditional action RPG akin to Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring.

For now, the studio is still bent on releasing its upcoming movies, but Miyazaki’s statements suggest additional projects are already in the works behind the scenes. Nintendo and FromSoftware are working together more than ever, and it could mean more reasons for Switch 2 owners to listen to the well-known creator when it comes to the future.
