In a significant move for the notoriously challenging developer, FromSoftware has announced that its upcoming Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, will feature skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). This decision directly addresses one of the most contentious issues in online gaming: protecting new players from being overwhelmed by the game’s most experienced and skilled participants. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the acclaimed director behind the Soulsborne series, has indicated that this system is designed to create a more welcoming and balanced experience for those just starting their journey in The Duskbloods, ensuring that encounters are more appropriate to their current skill level and fostering a less punishing entry point into the game’s competitive multiplayer landscape.
