The world of video games is in turmoil for the revelations that emerge from the Brown Corridors, the Japanese study that has conquered millions of players with titles such as Elden Ring and Dark Souls.
While the media attention focuses on The Duskbloods, the new exclusive project for Nintendo Switch 2, sources close to the company suggest that the development team plans are much more ambitious.
The strategy seems to focus on a diversification that maintains the narrative and playful identity that has made the brand famous.
According to what reported by MP1st (via VGC), from Fromsoftware would be working simultaneously with three main projects, with timing that could revolutionize the gaming panorama of the next few years.
In addition to the post-launch support for Elden Ring: Nighttreign and the development of The Duskbloods, the existence of a mysterious title identified with the Codename ‘FMC’ emerges, which would currently be in an advanced production phase.
The rumors suggest that this secret project could see the light by next year, but possibly would not come out later than 2026.
The code name is definitely interesting: historically, FromSoftware has used denominations that begin with the letter ‘F’ for projects related to the Dark Souls or Armored Core series, creating a recognizable pattern for the most attentive observers.
This can only open fascinating scenarios: it may be an expansion for Fires of Rubicon, or a long -awaited Remaster of Dark Souls 3 that fans have been asking for years.
Miyazaki’s vision between innovation and tradition
The Fromsoftware strategy therefore seems to be divided into parallel tracks: on the one hand the exploration of new multiplayer dynamics with The Duskbloods, on the other the maintenance of creative roots through projects that “embrace our more traditional style”, words used by Hidetaka Miyazaki some time ago.
This dualistic approach could represent the key to conquer new market segments without alienating the consolidated base of fans who have made it possible to success with the planetary success of titles such as Elden Ring (which you can recover on Amazon).
And who knows that the next Fromsoftware project, after The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Nightreign, does not really return to the Soulslike more \
