Ahead of its release, The Duskbloods will undergo a closed network test next summer, running from June to September 2026. Access to this closed test requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. During the test, players can engage in battles against up to seven other participants, leveraging unique weapons and special abilities. The Duskbloods is a multiplayer action game where players assume the role of a "Bloodsworn." The objective is to navigate a world dominated by enemies, utilizing distinct weapons and abilities. Players will have the opportunity to form temporary alliances on their journey toward victory. The game also features blood-based powers that allow players to transform their characters and combat styles in their bid to claim the coveted "First Blood."
