FromSoftware built its legendary reputation on dark fantasy worlds and deeply punishing combat. The studio pioneered the soulslike genre with massive hits like Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Bloodborne, and the Dark Souls series. However, a bold new leak suggests the developer is pivoting to the high seas.
Currently, fans expect The Duskbloods to be the studio’s next release. This vampire-inspired Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive features PvP and PvE combat. It is slated to launch later this year. Surprisingly, new rumors claim a secret pirate game will arrive even earlier.
FromSoftware Sailing into ‘Cerulean Onslaught’
The unannounced project is reportedly titled Cerulean Onslaught. According to the leaks, this new title is a dark action RPG. Gameplay primarily revolves around sailing the ocean and exploring various islands. Furthermore, the player’s ship will allegedly serve as a central hub.

Currently, the leak does not specify if the game focuses on single-player or multiplayer experiences. FromSoftware recently departed from its usual single-player focus with multiplayer mechanics in The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Nightreign. Therefore, players will have to wait and see which direction this pirate game takes.
Summer Game Fest Reveal & Timeline
The leak originally surfaced on 4chan. Subsequently, Reddit users shared the information online. Readers should take these bold claims with a massive grain of salt. Still, some past 4chan leaks have proven entirely accurate.

The leaker claims FromSoftware plans to announce the game next month at the Summer Game Fest. Other rumors already point to a new Resident Evil remake announcement at the same event. Interestingly, the developer reportedly targets an August release date. Consequently, this pirate adventure would hit shelves before The Duskbloods.
A 2026 Pirate Showdown?
If this leak holds true, 2026 will become a massive year for the pirate genre. The Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake is already official. As a result, two major pirate games could go head-to-head in an epic surprise showdown.
A FromSoftware take on pirate mythology sounds like a dream. Nevertheless, gamers must view all unconfirmed rumors with a healthy amount of skepticism until the studio makes an official announcement.
