The Duskbloods Gets Positive Development Update for Switch 2

FromSoftware has shared a positive update about its upcoming game The Duskbloods, one of the most anticipated titles for Nintendo Switch 2. Originally planned for the first Nintendo Switch, the game later moved to Nintendo’s newer console for development. The Duskbloods is a multiplayer action RPG that combines both PvP and PvE gameplay while allowing players to create custom vampire-inspired characters.

The game was officially revealed during Nintendo Switch 2’s major showcase in April 2025 and quickly became one of the biggest highlights of the event. Since then, fans have been waiting for more information about the project.

A recent financial report from Kadokawa, the parent company of FromSoftware, confirmed that both The Duskbloods and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition are still scheduled to launch before the end of 2026. This supports recent rumors suggesting The Duskbloods could arrive in late 2026.

Industry insider Nate the Hate also hinted at a possible late-2026 release window. The leaker has gained attention recently for correctly predicting a new Star Fox announcement, which has made fans more confident about these reports.

Nintendo is expected to strongly promote The Duskbloods as one of the major exclusives for Switch 2. Many fans also believe the game could appear in a future Nintendo Direct presentation with a new trailer or official release date announcement.

With Nintendo Switch 2 building a strong lineup of exclusive games, The Duskbloods is shaping up to be one of the console’s biggest upcoming releases. FromSoftware’s reputation for creating successful action RPGs has already generated major excitement across the gaming community.
