Overview
- FromSoftware announced on Thursday, October 29, 2026 that it is moving The Duskbloods out of its 2026 window and into 2027 to complete final adjustments to rules and balance.
- The decision follows a limited August 2026 network test that drew strong interest but produced connectivity problems, player confusion about objectives, and early balance concerns that the studio says it will address.
- The Duskbloods is a multiplayer-only, Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive in which eight players control characters called Bloodsworn and compete for victory points called Virtue in PvPvE matches.
- FromSoftware provided no precise 2027 release date, saying only that development is in a ‘final adjustment’ phase focused on rule tweaks, balance changes, and stability improvements.
- The delay highlights a deliberate shift for FromSoftware from single-player design to match-based multiplayer and leaves players waiting for clearer onboarding, fairer class balance, and a more stable launch experience.
