The new game The Duskbloods from FromSoftware may never make it beyond the Nintendo Switch 2, and everything suggests that this is not a coincidence. The studio has been collaborating with Nintendo for years on projects that have remained exclusive to their platforms. In this case, Nintendo not only supports the project but has been involved since the idea stage, which significantly increases the chances of full exclusivity.
The history of the collaboration between FromSoftware and Nintendo shows that such games almost never make it to other platforms
Looking at earlier projects from FromSoftware created for Nintendo, there is a clear pattern games stay on one platform and do not get ports. This applies to both older titles like Lost Kingdoms and other lesser-known productions on DS. A similar model can also be seen in other collaborations with Nintendo, such as the Bayonetta series, where project funding meant exclusivity. This suggests that if Nintendo helps in production, the game is likely to remain in their ecosystem permanently.

For now, everything points to one The Duskbloods may be a full-fledged, permanent exclusive for Switch 2. If history repeats itself, players on other platforms may have to wait for this game.
