The story so far
AI summary of the reporting below · Updated · How we work
FromSoftware has pushed the release window for its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, from 2026 into an unspecified date in 2027. Originally revealed in April 2025 during a console showcase, the multiplayer title had been targeted for launch this year before the studio announced the delay on X. [1][2][3][4]
The developer stated that while production is in its final adjustment phase, extra time is necessary to refine game rules and balance. Studio statements noted that August network tests revealed strong player interest in combat, strategic depth, and expression, but the sessions also experienced server, performance, and connectivity troubles that prompted further fine-tuning.

The delay comes as late 2026 gaming schedules crowd with major releases, including Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19. The move also mirrors FromSoftware's earlier timeline challenges with Nintendo's hardware, following an Elden Ring port that slipped from a planned 2025 window to this past August. [2][3]
