FromSoftware has delayed The Duskbloods, its Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, from 2026 to 2027. The studio announced the delay on X on October 29, 2026, saying the game is in its "final adjustment stage" and needs more time for rules and balance work after this summer's network test.
No new release date was given, only the year. The Duskbloods had been slated for 2026 since its reveal, and with no updates as the year wound down, fans had been bracing for this news.
FromSoftware tied the decision directly to what it learned from the network test. "During the network test, we saw active interest in the core concepts of the game, including combat, strategic depth, and player expression," the studio wrote. "To further enhance these aspects, we have decided to move the launch" to 2027, "allowing time for final adjustments to game rules and balancing."
The post closed with an apology: "We apologize to players who have been kindly awaiting the release of this title and thank you for your patience and support."
Nintendo's German, French and Italian accounts shared the news as well, saying the new 2027 window is meant "to provide the best possible gaming experience."
