Gameplay footage from FromSoftware's new Switch 2 title, The Duskbloods, has been leaked online just ahead of the game's upcoming closed beta test. The leak, which was initially posted by 4Gamer and then shared on Bilibili before being removed, showcases the intense final moments of a player-versus-player-versus-environment match. This footage provides an early look at the game for those not looking to avoid spoilers before the beta officially begins.
The leaked video depicts players engaging in rapid-paced combat on a moonlit rooftop. The gameplay appears to feature mechanics such as double jumping, aerial attacks, and the ability to summon AI-controlled allies, including wolves and other characters. A notable feature shown is a temporary player transformation, reminiscent of Elden Ring's dragon and bear transformations, which allows players to turn into a large velociraptor for a powerful grab attack.
The leaked segment concludes with a cinematic where the victorious player offers a grail to the sky, highlighting the game's action-packed nature. The closed beta for The Duskbloods is scheduled to commence tomorrow, August 21st, and is expected to reveal more about the game, which has largely remained a mystery up to this point.
