GoKawiilFromSoftware pushes Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods to 2027
FromSoftware has delayed The Duskbloods, its multiplayer game exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, from its planned 2026 release to sometime in 2027. The studio said an August network test showed strong interest in the game's combat, strategic depth and player expression, prompting it to take extra time to refine rules and balancing.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The delay suggests FromSoftware wants to avoid repeating issues like those seen with its Elden Ring Switch 2 port, which also slipped past its original 2025 window due to performance problems. Pushing release to 2027 also sidesteps a crowded late-2026 market dominated by Grand Theft Auto 6 and the Ocarina of Time remake, though the article does not state this as the studio's explicit reasoning.
- The Duskbloods, a Switch 2 exclusive, is now delayed until 2027 instead of 2026.
- FromSoftware cites a need for further balancing and rule adjustments after positive network test feedback.
- This marks the second FromSoftware Switch 2 project to be delayed, following the Elden Ring port's earlier slip.
Nintendo Switch 2 Console — Since The Duskbloods is a Switch 2 exclusive, picking up the console now means you'll be ready the moment it finally launches in 2027. In the meantime, the Switch 2 already has a growing library of games to enjoy while you wait for FromSoftware's gothic steampunk multiplayer title.
