After a year of complete silence, we finally received new information about The Duskbloods, FromSoftware’s new soulslike, during the June 2026 Nintendo Direct. While the release date for The Duskbloods was not revealed, the new preview maintains the game’s arrival for 2026. To prepare for the launch of The Duskbloods, FromSoftware will conduct its classic server tests.
What Do We Know About The Duskbloods’ Network Tests?
FromSoftware’s main announcement was that they will conduct a closed testing period for The Duskbloods servers during the third quarter of 2026. This is to ensure optimal performance before the final version’s release. However, the Japanese developer did not reveal the methodology or the steps required to participate in The Duskbloods network tests. So, stay tuned, as in the coming days, we will confirm when and how to participate in The Duskbloods network tests.
Finally, the new trailer for The Duskbloods did not include new gameplay sequences. Instead, this preview of The Duskbloods focused on showcasing the game’s environments and characters. It was also reiterated that FromSoftware’s new soulslike, The Duskbloods, will be an exclusive for the Nintendo Switch 2. Furthermore, there are currently no plans for The Duskbloods to arrive on other consoles or platforms. The confirmation of the closed test’s arrival for The Duskbloods mitigates the lack of information that existed for investors of the Kadokawa group, who expressed concerns at their fiscal year-end.
