The article explains how players can find out whether they are eligible for The Duskbloods’ closed network test later this month. It matters because participation is limited and requires specific hardware, an online subscription and successful registration, giving selected players an early opportunity to try FromSoftware’s upcoming multiplayer game.

Applicants need a Nintendo Switch 2, an active Nintendo Switch Online membership and a linked Nintendo Account with matching country or region details. Registration runs from 22 to 28 July, with successful applicants notified on 7 August; the test is scheduled across several sessions from 21 to 23 August and supports eight-player multiplayer.
