Quick answer: FromSoftware has moved The Duskbloods, its Switch 2 exclusive multiplayer game, from 2026 to an unspecified date in 2027 to allow final adjustments to game rules and balancing.
The Duskbloods won't make it out this year. FromSoftware announced on October 29 that its Switch 2 exclusive is moving from its planned 2026 window to 2027. No month or date was given.
"While development of The Duskbloods is at the final adjustment stage, we have made the decision to move the launch window to 2027," the studio said, apologizing to players who have been waiting. GameSpot reports that FromSoftware wants the extra time for final adjustments to the game's rules and balancing, to further improve its combat, strategic depth and player expression.
The Duskbloods is a multiplayer PvPvE action game directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Nintendo's store page describes online battles of up to eight players, where you play as one of the Bloodsworn, beings given special abilities through blood. That listing now shows a release date of 2027.
GameSpot notes the game didn't appear at the September Nintendo Direct, which had some fans worried about its progress. A FromSoftware employee recently said interest in the game's playtest was higher than it was for Elden Ring Nightreign.
