We don’t know much about FromSoftware’s upcoming Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, other than it being another experimental multiplayer outing in the vein of Nightreign, returning to the Lovecraftian vibes of Bloodborne—but with vampires. That all changes next month.
The studio just announced on the game’s official X account that the closed network test will go live next month, with applications opening from July 22 at 4pm CEST until July 28 at 3:59pm CEST.
“A network test involves using a pre-release version of the game to test performance prior to the commencement of service,” FromSoftware explained. “We plan to conduct large-scale network load tests to check different technical aspects of the game’s online systems.”
Select applicants will be chosen on August 7 at 3pm CEST to take part in the closed network test, which will go live on August 21 until August 24 during set times, which you can see in the post embedded above.
To be eligible, you must own a Nintendo Switch 2 and a Nintendo Switch Online membership. If selected, you will be sent a download code to use on the eShop, with preloads going live on August 18 at 3pm CEST....
