The Duskbloods gets closed network test ahead of 2026 release

So that'll be soon!

Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods will get a closed network test in the next little while ahead of its planned 2026 release.

The news came as part of today’s Nintendo Direct, which also gave us another look at FromSoftware’s latest.

“In this new multiplayer action game, you’ll take on the role of the Bloodsworn and fight against – and alongside – up to seven other players with unique weapons and abilities,” Nintendo said in a press release.

“Transcend humanity with blood-based powers that transform your character and combat style as you battle to secure the coveted First Blood,” Nintendo continued. “And as revealed in the presentation, players can learn more about the closed network test for the game, coming in winter 2026.”

We’ll let you know when more of the closed network test is revealed.

The Duskbloods is a Switch 2 exclusive coming later in 2026.
