Reddit users have been inventing details about the unreleased FromSoftware game The Duskbloods, and AI chatbots are now presenting those fabrications as fact. The game's first network test is scheduled for August. Google's AI search and other models have repeated made-up boss names and strategies drawn from the subreddit r/TheDuskbloods.
Bored fans on Reddit began creating imaginary lore, characters, and bosses for The Duskbloods months ago while waiting for official information. Posts include detailed descriptions of opponents such as Lycan Vrykolakas, Dawn-Eater Abomination, and Bugout Billy, along with gameplay guides for defeating them.
AI systems have scraped these posts and delivered the invented content in response to user queries. Google's AI search has listed the fake bosses as the hardest in the game and provided step-by-step strategies that cite the subreddit as the source. Other models have done the same when prompted about specific characters or mechanics.
FromSoftware has released no details about bosses, zones, or gameplay elements in The Duskbloods. The company has confirmed only that the first network test will occur in August. The incident follows similar cases where AI tools repeated fabricated stories after they appeared on low-traffic sites.
