Leaked Duskbloods footage reveals aerial combat and dinosaur transformation
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Gameplay footage from FromSoftware's upcoming action-RPG The Duskbloods has leaked online ahead of a scheduled network test, giving fans an early, unofficial look at the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive before the developer's own marketing push. The leak matters because it offers the clearest indication yet of how the game actually plays, beyond the stylised trailers Nintendo and FromSoftware have released so far, and arrives just as anticipation builds for the hands-on test period.
The footage reportedly shows fluid aerial combat, smooth traversal and movement options, and a striking sequence in which a character transforms into a dinosaur, hinting at the shapeshifting mechanics that could set Duskbloods apart from FromSoftware's other titles such as Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. The Duskbloods was announced as a Switch 2 exclusive, and while an official release date has yet to be confirmed, the leaked clips have fuelled speculation about its combat depth and variety ahead of the planned network test.

Anticipation has been building for The Duskbloods, an action role-playing game from FromSoftware, the Japanese studio behind Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. It has been announced as an exclusive title for Nintendo's Switch 2 console, but neither Nintendo nor FromSoftware has confirmed a release date, and so far the public has mostly seen carefully produced trailers rather than actual gameplay.
A planned network test, essentially a limited trial period allowing selected players to try the game online before launch, has been generating interest as the first real chance to see how Duskbloods handles in practice. It matters because FromSoftware games are closely watched for their combat systems and design choices, and any early evidence of how this one plays feeds directly into expectations ahead of an eventual release.
