## Summary

FromSoftware has delayed *The Duskbloods*, its Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, from 2026 to 2027. The studio says it needs more time to refine the game’s rules and balance after a network test, aiming to improve the player experience.

The August 2026 test drew interest in the game’s direct combat, strategic depth and player expression, according to FromSoftware. The PvPvE matches pit eight players, called Bloodsworn, against monsters and one another as they compete for Virtue points, with several possible routes to victory.
