How Integrating GameChat Into the Duskbloods Can Help Make the Game Better

While the trailer for The Duskbloods showed people what they could look forward to, there is still a lot of speculation regarding what else should be expected from it. Should it utilize the GameChat feature, then there's no doubt it will have a significant impact on the multiplayer aspect, given the things it can do and the benefits it brings:

People will be able to communicate with each other during PvP sessions via voice chat, making fights more engaging and entertaining, regardless of the results.
Players who play co-op will have an easier time coordinating what they should do, allowing for better teamwork that can help against even the toughest of enemies.
If those using the GameChat feature also have the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, it can make the multiplayer aspect feel more immersive, as it lets everyone see how much fun or frustration they're experiencing in real time.

There may be a few things confirmed for The Duskbloods, but the integration of the GameChat feature into the game is still up in the air. The game will likely use it, especially when considering that it's heavily going to feature multiplayer, but it will be up to FromSoftware to handle its execution and how well it will be received.

How the GameChat Feature Can Help Players Get Into The Duskbloods

The Duskbloods may be seen as the Bloodborne successor everyone has been waiting for, but it can also be viewed as the start of FromSoftware making their titles more accessible. Games made by the developer are known for being challenging, so much so that people often give up because of the numerous difficulties they end up facing. The Duskbloods can help change that with the GameChat feature, as people can use it to play with their friends who may be able to help with solving puzzles, fighting bosses, or getting past sequences that they wouldn't have been able to alone. Veteran FromSoftware fans can use this as an opportunity to use the knowledge and expertise they've gained to slowly ease in newcomers to the game, ensuring that they enjoy what they're playing while potentially making them want to try other titles produced by the developer.

Many things were announced during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, with The Duskbloods certainly being one that came as a welcome surprise to many. The game has a lot of potential and will likely help take the next-generation console to great heights of success. Should it choose to utilize the GameChat feature, then there's no doubt it will be a FromSoftware title that fans will look forward to getting hours upon hours of enjoyment from.
