FromSoftware Working on Secret New Game Alongside The Duskbloods
▼ Summary
– FromSoftware is reportedly developing an unannounced multiplatform game codenamed FMC, which may release next year.
– The project is not related to the already announced Switch 2-exclusive game, The Duskbloods.
– Codename patterns suggest FMC could be linked to the Dark Souls or Armored Core series.
– A Dark Souls 3 Remastered was previously rumored, but series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has called Dark Souls 3 the “closure” of the series.
– Armored Core 6’s success (3M sales in under a year) makes a follow-up or related project plausible.
FromSoftware appears to be secretly developing a new multiplatform game under the codename FMC, potentially launching as early as next year. While details remain scarce, industry sources suggest the project is in its final stages, separate from the already announced The Duskbloods—a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive featuring vampires, jetpacks, and dinosaurs.
The speculation around FMC stems from the studio’s history of using codenames starting with “F” for titles like Dark Souls 3 (FDP), Dark Souls Remastered (FHD), and Armored Core 6 (FNR). This pattern fuels theories that the mystery project could tie into either franchise. Notably, Sekiro and Elden Ring followed different naming conventions, further narrowing the possibilities.
Rumors of a Dark Souls 3 Remastered have circulated since last year, though series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki once called the third installment a “definitive endpoint.” However, a remaster wouldn’t necessarily contradict that statement. On the other hand, Armored Core 6’s strong sales—3 million copies in under a year—make a follow-up equally plausible.
Despite the buzz, FromSoftware’s official focus remains on The Duskbloods and Elden Ring: Nightreign, with Miyazaki confirming single-player experiences still take priority. Whether FMC marks a return to a beloved series or an entirely new venture, fans won’t have to wait long for answers.
