Miyazaki Says 1 Duskbloods Character, Zork, Draws on Ultraman as a Vampire Wild Card

Summary
Hidetaka Miyazaki said Zork — one of 10 playable Duskbloods characters — was built from Ultraman and Ultra Seven influences rather than standard gothic vampire archetypes.
Zork’s design pushes the game beyond its Victorian base: a sapient bird in a deep-sea suit who fights with an undersea cable, a speargun and a rocket-like dash.
Miyazaki said that oddity is deliberate, casting Zork as a "wild card" to make the multiplayer roster feel like a chaotic festival of sharply different characters.
A Network Test over the weekend already showed some of that contrast, with players favoring Layla’s sniper rifle while Zork’s missile-style movement could easily send users off cliffs.
The reveal adds context to The Duskbloods’ broader mix of eras and bizarre character concepts as FromSoftware moves toward the game’s full launch.
