Bloodsworn
The Duskbloods Bloodsworn Guide
Bloodsworn is the only player-group name confirmed by Nintendo and FromSoftware in the sources tracked here. The trailer shows several distinct silhouettes, but no official roster, class names, or character ability table has been published.
What Bloodsworn means in official copy
FromSoftware describes the Bloodsworn as a group that has transcended human strength through special blood. Nintendo uses the same term for the supernatural beings players become before entering online battles.
That gives the site a reliable faction label without inventing a character-creation screen, class tree, or named hero roster. Bloodsworn is a lore and player-role term; it is not proof of a set of final playable characters.
Trailer observation index (unconfirmed)
The following editorial labels help readers identify moments in the reveal material. They are trailer observations, not official names or classes.
- Silver-haired hunter-like figure: shown with a long coat and weapon use; no name or role is confirmed.
- Kimono-clad fighter: shown with fast close-range movement; an Eastern warrior label is a visual description only.
- Small armored figure with a propulsion device: the silhouette suggests a mobility-focused or technology-themed combat moment, but its playable status is unknown.
- Younger pale-haired fighter: shown in quick combat footage; no identity, stats, or archetype is confirmed.
No official roster yet
The referenced Fextralife wiki correctly warns that several character names and interpretations are speculation. Its archetype labels are useful search leads, but they must not become a roster, tier list, or build guide until Nintendo, FromSoftware, or a reproducible release build supplies names and rules.
- No confirmed character names or portraits are listed here.
- No starting kits, passives, stats, or class restrictions are published in the official sources tracked here.
- Do not infer separate factions from costume, weapon, or body-shape differences in a trailer.
How the roster will be verified
A future Bloodsworn entry needs an in-game name or official profile, the build/version, a reproducible ability description, and a source link. Test-only labels will remain marked as test data until the launch build confirms them.
