I have had a lot of fun with seamless coop, but still by far most of my hours in FromSoft games has been offline single player. I want to be immersed in the world and the story. Not read the 50th Try finger but hole message, not fight with the UI because people leave messages on switches and not be invaded by 12 year old sweaty players invading and reminding me I still haven’t gotten gud.
I think Nightreign will be cool, but just like Helldivers 2 I’ll probably get bored within 30 hours and never play it again. And as with most online games, only the really fanatical fans will still be playing after a year or so. So if you do come back with zero skills and no memory of the game, you’re in for a bad time. And once the game is dead, it’s dead. No dusting off an 15 year old game and doing another run for fun, like I love to do with Souls games.

I fully agree with every sentiment here
I’m wondering if the game will have some offline capabilities. Sure would suck if the game just died completely once the servers are shut off
Did I miss something? We already know Nightreign will have both single & multi player, did they announce a new game?
Yes, an upcoming exclusive FS title that’ll release on Switch 2 in 2026: The Duskbloods. You’ll find trailers on YouTube easily
Oh damn, thanks for the heads-up!
