Nintendo has officially denied claims that The Duskbloods will launch on September 24, correcting information that appeared in an early preview of the game. The erroneous date was included in coverage from The Guardian, which was compiled after a trip to Tokyo to play the title ahead of its upcoming network test.
While The Guardian's preview included the September 24 date, other publications that reportedly made the same trip did not feature a specific release date, instead indicating a release later this year. When contacted by Eurogamer for clarification, a Nintendo spokesperson stated, "The release date is inaccurate because there is no information regarding [the] release date of the Duskbloods."
The incorrect date surfaced just one day before a closed network test for The Duskbloods, for which the public could sign up following a recent Nintendo Direct trailer. This news also follows the appearance of leaked gameplay footage online earlier today, which was briefly re-uploaded to Bilibili before being removed.
The Duskbloods is an upcoming title that recently underwent a closed network test. Details regarding its official release date remain unconfirmed by Nintendo.
