If you thought FromSoftware had already peaked with their soul-crushingly difficult games, think again. The developers are back with something that makes Bloodborne and Elden Ring look like a walk in the park. Enter *The Duskbloods*: a game that apparently fuses *Bloodborne*, *Sekiro*, and *Dark Souls* into one chaotic masterpiece—oh, and they threw in jetpacks and dinosaurs for good measure. Because why not? Clearly, FromSoftware decided subtlety was overrated.
### What Exactly is *The Duskbloods*?
Let’s break it down, shall we? According to the original scoop from Eurogamer, *The Duskbloods* is everything you’d expect from FromSoftware: punishing difficulty, gothic vibes, and intricate lore that only a PhD in cryptology could decipher. But this time, they’ve upped the ante with jetpacks and dinosaurs. Yes, you read that right. Dinosaurs. Because nothing screams “ultimate gaming experience” like being mauled by a velociraptor while fumbling with your jetpack controls.
If you’ve spent years training your thumbs to survive Elden Ring’s boss battles, congratulations! You’re now ready to face airborne T-Rexes. Don’t worry, though. The game’s mechanics promise to be just as intuitive as piloting a Boeing 747 with chopsticks.
### Highlights of *The Duskbloods*
Here’s what you can look forward to in this Frankenstein of gaming genres:
– **Jetpacks**: Because running away from enemies wasn’t stressful enough, now you can do it vertically.
– **Dinosaurs**: FromSoftware seems to have decided that dragons are so last-gen.
– **Gothic Aesthetic 2.0**: Think Bloodborne, but with more teeth and claws.
– **Lore That’ll Break Your Brain**: Expect cryptic item descriptions and NPCs who speak exclusively in riddles.
### Pros & Cons
Let’s be honest, no game is perfect—even if it’s from FromSoftware. Here’s what you’re getting into:
**Pros:**
– Innovative gameplay mechanics—jetpacks, anyone?
– A fresh take on the gothic horror genre.
– Dinosaurs. Because who doesn’t love dinosaurs?
**Cons:**
– Steep learning curve (as if that’s a surprise).
– Potentially overwhelming mashup of genres.
– Yet another game to remind you how bad you are at gaming.
### Why the Hype?
At this point, FromSoftware could release a game about folding laundry, and it would still sell millions. But *The Duskbloods* genuinely seems to be pushing boundaries. The inclusion of jetpacks and dinosaurs might sound like a fever dream, but knowing FromSoftware, they’ll somehow make it work. Just don’t expect a tutorial explaining how to use the jetpack while dodging a raptor. That’s what YouTube walkthroughs are for.
