FromSoftware has announced that its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, has been delayed into 2027. The game was previously slated for release by the end of 2026.
In a statement, the developer cited feedback from a recent network test as the reason for the delay, with a focus on enhancing combat, strategic depth, and player expression. No specific launch date within 2027 has been provided.
Anticipation for The Duskbloods has been high, particularly following the studio's success with titles like Elden Ring. The game's absence from the September 2026 Nintendo Direct and an early conclusion to its network test due to server issues in August had already led some fans to expect a delay.
Players can refer to IGN's interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki and a hands-on preview of The Duskbloods for further details while awaiting more information on the release.
