FromSoftware Delays The Duskbloods to 2027 for Final Balancing

FromSoftware has officially pushed The Duskbloods, its multiplayer action game made exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2, out of 2026. In a post on the game's official X account, the studio said development is at the "final adjustment stage" and that the launch window now moves to 2027.
