The Duskbloods network test went live on Nintendo Switch 2 this weekend, a run prompted by Hidetaka Miyazaki saying Nintendo was the "right partner" and "very receptive" to FromSoftware's odd multiplayer idea. Players are centering on the game's PvPvE core, debating how killing other players feels risky and low-reward in most modes while praising survival choices that let you thrive in matches. Community lore and jokes have crystallized around "Zorks" as player personas, a player who turns into a T-rex dubbed the "Blood-Yoshi Transformation," and repeated visual comparisons to Martyr Logarius's Cainhurst arena from Bloodborne. Early impressions mix excitement and skepticism about solo playability, with some praising the strange, tackier tone and others worried this is more of a "for them" multiplayer swing than a traditional single-player FromSoftware title.
