Elden Ring creators FromSoftware will have two new games next year claims report
Following the launch of Elden Ring Nightreign in May, we now know virtually nothing about what developer FromSoftware is currently working on.
They have announced The Duskbloods, but apart from it being a multiplayer focused game for Nintendo Switch 2 next to nothing has been revealed about it. However, considering how prolific FromSoftware has been in the past, it's almost certain the team is working on multiple projects at once.
The subject of FromSoftware's next game, beyond The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Nightreign DLC, has become a talking point thanks to a new report which claims the studio is in the 'advanced stages of production' on an as-of-yet unannounced game.
According to insider Kurakasis (via Mp1st), who has previously leaked games ahead of time, the unannounced title is a multiplatform game with the codename FMC. This is believed to be an abbreviation of the actual codename, with Elden Ring having the abbreviated codename of GR for 'Great Rune'.
While there's no details on the game itself, it's claimed the project is so far in development that, unless it is delayed, we 'should be able to play it no later than next year'.
This might feel like a reach, with The Duskbloods already coming out next year, but FromSoftware has launched multiple titles within the same year in the past.

Admittedly new games do take longer to make than ever, but From has had a major new title out almost every year, or usually at least every two years, since its inception, emphasising the fact that they always have multiple projects on the go at once.
When compared to the abbreviated codenames of past FromSoftware games, Kurakasis points out how every codename beginning with 'F' has connected to either Dark Souls or Armored Core – From's longest running franchises.
Some people have connected the dots to a rumour which emerged last year around a Dark Souls 3 remaster, although 2018's Dark Souls Remastered was developed by QLOC and Virtuous, with From only working on it in an advisory capacity. It did, however, have the codename FHD.
The chances of the new game being an Armored Core title seem slim considering the last instalment, Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon, launched in 2023, but the series has a history of dropping spin-offs after mainline entries. More Trending
Armored Core: Verdict Day launched a year after 2012's Armored Core 5, while 2008's Armored Core: For Answer came out two years after Armored Core 4. As such, a direct sequel would also fit the timeline for 2026.
Of course, there's a chance this project is something else entirely. FromSoftware boss Hidetaka Miyazaki has said there's no plans for more Elden Ring in the foreseeable future, but he did leave the door open for a potential revisit somewhere further down the line.
'We don't have any current plans to make a second DLC or a sequel, but we definitely don't want to snuff out that possibility,' he told IGN in February last year. 'We think that there could well be something in the future.'
If another project is set to come out next year, that might mean The Duskbloods could be planned for early 2026 – something which could be revealed at the next Nintendo Direct, rumoured for this month.

I was hooked on secret £250-a-week crystal meth habit – I was sectioned before it killed me, reveals S Club's Jon Lee
The noughties singer reveals the moment he hit rock bottom - and what saved him DRUG HELL I was hooked on secret £250-a-week crystal meth habit – I was sectioned before it killed me, reveals S Club's Jon Lee Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) S Club 7 singer Jon Lee has revealed he had a secret drug habit that led to 'psychotic episodes' where the police were called. The Nineties pop star , who will soon appear on Celebs Go Dating, admitted he was blowing £250 a week of crystal meth and then trashing his flat with a hammer while out of it. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Jon Lee has revealed he was spending £250 a week on crystal meth Credit: Nic Serpell-Rand / Channel 4 6 Jon with his S Club bandmates in their 90s heyday Credit: Getty 6 The singer admitted trying to hide his sexuality for years contributed to his decline Credit: Getty Jon, 43, said his deadly habit nearly killed him and even saw him sectioned back in 2019. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jon revealed that he got into crystal meth - a highly addictive 'party' drug that can cause psychosis, hallucination, paranoia and mania - when he was in his thirties - long after S Club had gone their separate ways. He revealed: "I didn't even recognise myself at that time. Sometimes, in the midst of one of the psychotic episodes where I'd be smashing my flat up with a hammer, I'd catch sight of myself in the mirror and say: 'What the f***?'. "I'd have a moment of lucidity, thinking: 'I was a successful young man, I had a brilliant career, incredible life. What am I doing?' AMBULANCE DASH "I'd be standing there, holes in the walls around me, cuts all over my knuckles, my eye swollen from where I'd been punching myself in the head. I'd shaved my hair too. I didn't look anything like Jon-from-S Club – or what people would expect Jon-from-S Club to look like." One night, six years ago, his neighbours were so concerned they called the police and Jon was taken to a clinic in an ambulance where he was sectioned. "I remember I had to keep the door open, and someone sat outside. I suppose I was a danger to myself, " he recalled. Jon also admitted he got into another party drug, GHB, a type of liquid ecstasy, which can easily be overdosed on. In the depths of his despair, he claims he often took four times the dose, hoping he wouldn't wake up the next day. "I'm not sure how I'm still here," he told the publication, admitting his "regret" at putting his family through such an ordeal. Christine McGuinness signs up for Celebs Go Dating as we reveal full line-up including pop legends & reality TV icons Jon, who has been openly gay since coming out in 2010, believes his issues were caused by finding fame at a young age and trying to hide his sexuality for years in the public eye. He said he drank to curb the anxiety he felt about his sexual orientation being exposed, particularly in the days after the band broke up. Working in musical theatre at the time, he admitted he drank most days and took cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis recreationally. "If I didn't have work, I could drink three quarters of a bottle of gin in the afternoon" he confessed. 6 Jon has told how he slept with a hammer under his bed Credit: Getty 6 The pop star said he drank daily and took party drugs after the band split Credit: Gary Stone - The Sun But things got much darker after he lost his dad to Motor Neurone Disease in 2014, turning to harder drugs to escape his grief. "I still can't believe I did it. I let a complete stranger inject me. It's the most disgusting, dangerous drug… and I went down that road," he bravely admitted. As he got hooked on the drug, he was left unable to work and spent days on end in his flat having hallucinations that there were people in his appartment. "I was terrified, I'd sleep with a hammer under the bed," he said, admitted he even smashed his head through the bathroom door in his paranoid state. The tipping point, he admitted, was that fateful when the police took him to spend the night in a facility after his neighbours called them. That wake up call saw him flee the country and go travelling for three years in a bid to find himself. While he wasn't working, he was able to fund his globetrotting as he had invested in properties during his S Club days that he was getting a rental income from. And it was on those travels in India that he found a rescue dog named Lolly, who he claims gave him a new purpose in life. In 2022, he returned to the UK with three rescue dogs and moved back to Cornwall to live next door to his mum and his sister. Around the same time, S Club reunited for a reunion tour, bringing him back on the road with his old pals. Sadly, shortly after the band reunited they were hit with another tragedy as Paul Cattermole passed away. While Jon was floored with grief, he claimed losing his friend made him even more determined not to waste his life on drugs. "I think I used the time to unpick my own life, go back through everything – and try to put it all back together," he said. "I think it made me even more determined that I had to… live.'

Wuchang Fallen Feathers release date and when you can slash across the new soulslike adventure
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a new soulslike game set in the land of Chu during the Ming Dynasty, and it's coming to consoles and PC later this month Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is poised to deliver a fresh wave of soulslike action across the land of Chu, and Xbox fans might have the opportunity to play it without any additional cost. The soulslike genre, the gameplay style that just seems to keep going, is going even further yet again. FromSoftware's creation has taken flight, reaching various corners of the gaming industry, with numerous developers keen to incorporate the genre into their own creations. The sharp and responsive combat of Where Winds Meet's July beta has players eagerly anticipating a new, truly challenging experience, and Wuchang Fallen Feathers appears ready to rise to the occasion. This new soulslike game, set in the land of Chu during the Ming Dynasty, seems primed to offer players a fresh dose of frenzied sword-fighting action as Wuchang, an amnesiac pirate warrior afflicted with Feathering disease. The game appears shrouded in mystery, but even so, the prospect of slicing enemies to bits with a sword is more than enough to entice many potential fans, even if they don't plan to engage deeply with the game's storyline. It's good news, too, that players across Xbox, PlayStation and beyond are getting the chance to get stuck in. Fortunately, the game's release is imminent – and fans on a certain console could be about to get it at no extra cost. Here's what you need to know about the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers release date. Introducing All Out Gaming Introducing All Out Gaming, a dedicated gaming brand providing the best gaming news, reviews, previews, interviews and more!

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers release date The release date for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is slated for Thursday, July 24 at 3am local time globally, with the exception of the United States. This release timing has been disclosed by the game's page on the PlayStation Store. As is typical with global launches like this, the game will be available for players in the United States at 3am EDT on the East Coast, and whatever that time translates to in their specific regions, which is 12am PDT / 2am CDT. It's an unusual setup for game releases, but at least in this instance it is designed to allow all players to dive in when they wake up on the morning of Thursday, July 24. The game is set to debut on PS5, Xbox Series X |S and PC. Fortunately for Xbox players, the game will also be arriving on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on the release day at no additional cost, meaning that if you're a subscriber, you'll have access to the game the moment it goes live. Soulslike action is always a hit, and given the success that Black Myth Wukong managed to garner, there's a high probability that Wuchang Fallen Feathers could be the next big sensation. Brace yourself for a hefty dose of brutal bosses.

Elden Ring creators FromSoftware will have two new games next year claims report
