Release Date Delay
FromSoftware has announced a delay of The Duskbloods to 2027. The Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive was due out by the end of 2026.
In a statement published online, the developer said that it had decided to delay the game following feedback from the recent network test, with a focus on combat, strategic depth, and player expression.
There is currently no word on when in 2027 The Duskbloods will launch.
Network Test and Past Issues
Fans had braced themselves for a delay after the title was among a number of no-shows at the September 2026 Nintendo Direct. Before that, in August, FromSoftware brought the network test to an early end after the first day of testing resulted in game server issues that barred players from logging in.
FromSoftware is responsible for some of the most influential games of the last 20 years, generating high anticipation for The Duskbloods to bring its signature design to the Switch 2 platform.
