Duskbloods has been in works since 2019 and tested more than any (previous) Fromsoft game

Are rumors fair to share in this community?

The translated excerpt from the leaker, previously known to leak Elden Ring details before it's announcement:

“From what I know, The Duskbloods was greenlit even earlier than the marketing period for Sekiro’s release. It is the FromSoftware title that has spent the longest time purely on gameplay prototyping and validation among all of their games so far. Although it’s PVE and PVP, it reportedly contains many innovative elements the team themselves are very proud of.”
