FromSoftware's new action title The Duskbloods is launching exclusively on Switch 2, a partnership Hidetaka Miyazaki credits to Nintendo's openness toward the game's unconventional design. According to Miyazaki, Nintendo proved itself the ideal collaborator because it showed genuine receptiveness to the studio's creative direction. The developer viewed this willingness to embrace an experimental concept as a key factor in choosing the platform, with Miyazaki emphasizing that Nintendo's approach to the project held particular appeal for him personally.
- Miyazaki singled out Nintendo's receptiveness to The Duskbloods' unique gameplay mechanics as the deciding factor in making it a Switch 2 exclusive.
- FromSoftware appears to have prioritized creative partnership fit over typical multiplatform strategy, suggesting Nintendo actively championed the game's unconventional direction rather than simply securing exclusivity rights.
