The Duskbloods Release Pushed Back
FromSoftware announced a delay for its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods. Originally slated for release in 2026, the multiplayer game is now expected to launch sometime in 2027. The studio indicated the game is in its final development stages.
Reasons for the Delay
The decision to delay stems from an August network test, during which FromSoftware observed player interest in the game's combat, strategic depth, and player expression. To further refine these aspects, the studio opted to extend the development period for final adjustments to game rules and balancing.
Game Background
The Duskbloods, described as a gothic steampunk game, was first revealed in April 2025 during a Nintendo Switch 2 showcase. This delay follows a previous instance where FromSoftware postponed the Switch 2 port of Elden Ring from 2025 to August 2026, reportedly due to performance optimization needs.
