FromSoftware delays The Duskbloods to 2027
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 16:08 · Archive
FromSoftware has delayed The Duskbloods, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, until 2027 to refine gameplay balance.
FromSoftware has delayed The Duskbloods, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive multiplayer action game, until 2027. The studio originally planned to release the gothic steampunk title this year but has now pushed back the launch to allow for further development.
The decision follows an August network test that provided player feedback. FromSoftware said in a statement that the test demonstrated 'active interest in the core concepts of the game, including combat, strategic depth and player expression'. To build on this feedback, the studio decided to extend development to allow 'time for final adjustments to game rules and balancing'.
The game's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has promised the final release will feature story elements in the hub area, along with more maps and character customisation. FromSoftware acknowledged the delay, apologising to players awaiting the game and thanking them for their patience. This is not the studio's first Switch 2 delay; an Elden Ring port was originally scheduled for 2025 before arriving in August of this year due to optimisation needs.
