FromSoftware has revealed a new trailer for The Duskbloods, more than a year after the game’s initial announcement. This Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive is set to launch in 2026. 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.”

While the new trailer is brief and does not feature action sequences, the public’s curiosity about the game will soon be satisfied with the upcoming network test. The Duskbloods was initially unveiled last year alongside the Nintendo Switch 2.
