FromSoftware's Switch 2 Exclusive The Duskbloods Will Have a Closed Network Test Soon
- FromSoftware revealed a new The Duskbloods trailer during Tuesday's Nintendo Direct, confirming a closed network test for the Switch 2 exclusive will occur in "summer 2026."
- Director Hidetaka Miyazaki said the project began after pitching a "rough outline" to Nintendo, initially targeting the Switch before shifting development to the Switch 2 to leverage new hardware.
- Players step into a Bloodborne-esque world as a Bloodsworn, utilizing "blood-based powers that transform your character and combat style" while competing against seven others for the First Blood prize.
- Following one year of development since initial announcement, The Duskbloods remains slated for release this year, though the studio has not shared a specific launch date.
- Additionally, FromSoftware will release the long-awaited port of Elden Ring on the Switch 2 on August 28, marking another major title arriving on the console this year.
