FromSoftware has delayed The Duskbloods from its planned 2026 window to some point in 2027. The PvPvE action multiplayer game is still announced for Nintendo Switch 2, though the studio has not yet given a more precise date or explained whether the change will affect its pre-launch tests.
The studio said the project is in its final stage of tuning but chose to move the release to next year. In its official message, it apologized to those who were waiting for the game and thanked them for their patience and support. The explanation does not mention specific technical problems or design changes, and it does not say how much additional time the team will need.
The Duskbloods is a multiplayer action game built around PvPvE battles, in which players compete against each other while also facing enemies controlled by the game. According to reports, alliances between participants work under certain rules, although those details have not yet been officially presented.
Before the delay was confirmed, fans analyzed internal files from a closed test distributed in August. In a file called ProfileMat, they found elements related to characters that, in their interpretation, point to 13 Bloodsworn, the same number of heroes previously mentioned by the developers. The files also included references to a new weapon called the Nike Wheel Spear, used by one of the test's mini-bosses, although it is still unknown which character could obtain it in the final version.
During that test, some players had server problems, but according to reports from LEVELUP, demand exceeded that of ELDEN RING: NIGHTREIGN, another recent release from the studio. With the delay, the title is now waiting for a concrete date within 2027.
