New Souls game is a Switch 2 Exclusive... 💔☠️

[Dr.God]

The Duskbloods will be a Switch 2 exclusive title like Bloodborne was on PS4... which means you'll have to buy a Switch 2 to play the next main Souls game next year.

Honestly, I might've expected this from PlayStation but never would've expected this from Nintendo. I was going to buy a Switch 2 anyway, but I would definitely have preferred to play the next Souls game on PC.

Who else wants The Duskbloods (the next main Souls game) to release on PC? Let's start a petition!

The next main Souls game (called 'Duskbloods', not Nightreign) looks awesome:

I mean at least the Switch is a nintendo console. I'm not buying a PS5 just to play bloodborne and demon souls, but I could buy a switch 2 to play this and whatever other new mario/zelda/etc. nintendo exclusives come out.

I am 100% getting switch 2! Gaming on the go is so much fun ! Love Diablo /rogue like games and looking forward to this one too!

If I want amazing smooth gameplay with crisp graphics , that’s when my PC comes in and I just go lazy mode on my couch

You could not pay me to buy a switch. Nintendo games are for kids and buying a switch just for one game is hardly worth it.

If shin megami tensei 5 and monster hunter rise is ported to PC then we'll also see a PC port of this game.

The trailer looks awesome though... It's a Souls game with vampires and guns...

Aww sweety. Nothing in this world will make you sound more like a kid than what you just said.

"Eww! That's for little kids. I'm a grown and very adult man!!!!"

Right? That's kind of like saying: Kids eat ice cream and cookies, therefore ice cream and cookies are made for kids.

Not supporting people that want to continuously play games that are designed and targeted for children makes me sound like a child? That's not very logically of you to suggest. Nintendo games are marketed toward actual children. Video games like Pokemon, Super Mario, these are maladaptive coping mechanisms for escapism against the real world. It's especially prevalent when adults cling on to children games. It's almost a clear lack of autonomous identity being developed.

Psychologist have a concept for this phrased as the "Puer Aeternus" which is an adult that reverts back to being in a state of perpetual childhood in order to avoid growth. Sure not every instance of Nintendo/Disney adults are like this, however it becomes daunting when you continuously lack the inherent ability to do away with childish things.

It is, "(...) including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.". There's also another psychology term you might want to read a bit about, and that's "intellectualization".

That being said, you don't need to justify your purchase choices to me or anyone.

Is no one else surprised that Nintendo scored an exclusive main Souls game? I honestly would've been surprised if even Sony secured another exclusive given the God-tier success of Elden Ring, but NINTENDO?! How did this happen? Why? It's just so weird, you know? Who saw this coming? No one!

We do not even know if it is a proper souls like yet, as no combat has been shown for it.

It's confirmed to be the next main Souls game. Some combat was shown in the trailer. It'll be at least another 5 years or so before we get another main Souls game after Duskblood, which may or may not be another exclusive.

I'm not very much into the PvPvE gameplay but aesthetically it looks gorgeous, It would be very cool if their next mainline game is actually in the same universe as this, I would be very happy. Regardless though FROM SOFTWARE Trailers are always a joy to watch especially for new IPS.
