[FS] Not sure I'd subscribe to that

Judging FS's future by two experimental spin-off titles that they have the luxury of pursuing given Elden Ring's success is a little silly, I think. Sure, it's weird to see this from a company that's been noted for their excellent single-player experiences, but from what I've heard, Miyazaki has been wanting to make a game like Duskbloods for some time now. So why not now when they have the resources and the attention of the general fandom.
The thing that gets me excited about Duskbloods and Nightreign is that with BOTH of them, so close to each other, FromSoft seems to be making an ACTIVE effort to work in the mutiplayer online space. Like "Hey, you know how our online multiplayer capabilities have been highly criticized in our past games? Someone go make some smaller-scale online-multiplayer-only games and work on that." This has the potential to be GREAT for their next mainline game.
Also, remember, FromSoft experimenting with new ideas instead of wallowing in what has already been successful is how we got Dark Souls 2.
FS, iirc, highly praised the seemless coop mod for ER
Agreed! It's cool that they're going with the time
