From Software's upcoming title The Duskbloods cites author George R.R. Martin as an influence on its lore and aesthetic, though Martin has no direct involvement. Martin said that the game’s design contains no direct references, but his long‑standing interest in vampire literature has shaped his creative approach. The studio said the game draws on modern vampire fiction such as Fevre Dream and Dracula Cha‑Cha‑Cha, yet emphasized that these elements are indirect. The title is described as a gothic, player‑versus‑player‑versus‑environment experience for the Switch 2, with no release date announced. Developers noted that while Martin’s name adds visibility, the game’s mechanics remain distinct from his published works.
