Of all the games announced post-launch, the biggest news was an exclusive game from FromSoftware. The developer of Elden Ring, which is also heading to the Switch 2, is making a new game called The Duskbloods. There weren't many details in its trailer, but it does have the same brooding, gothic look and feel as the developer's other games, including Dark Souls and Bloodborne.Â
