Game Delay Announced
FromSoftware had previously stated it would release the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive title The Duskbloods this year, but that launch window has changed. The studio has delayed the multiplayer game, currently in the final stages of development, until sometime in 2027.
Development and Feedback
The studio noted that during an August network test, it observed active interest in the core concepts of the game, including combat, strategic depth, and player expression. To further enhance these aspects, the team decided to move the launch to allow adequate time for final adjustments to game rules and balancing.
