The Duskbloods release window moves to 2027 on Switch 2

FromSoftware has moved The Duskbloods from its previously announced 2026 release window to 2027, according to a new update on the game’s official site.¹ The announcement affects the Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive multiplayer action game, which is being developed by FromSoftware.

What changed

The change is a delay rather than a cancellation. The Duskbloods remains listed for Nintendo Switch 2, but the official specification page now gives its release timing as 2027 instead of 2026.² FromSoftware has not announced a more precise launch date in the material available at the time of writing.

The game is built around online multiplayer, with up to eight players able to fight one another and hostile enemies. That core premise has not changed in the update. The official site continues to describe it as a multiplayer action title, rather than providing a new release schedule or launch-price details.²

What remains unconfirmed

There is no exact month or day for The Duskbloods’ 2027 release yet. FromSoftware has also not confirmed a revised price, regional launch timing or any new platform beyond Nintendo Switch 2 in the official information checked for this report.¹²

That leaves the delay’s practical impact fairly simple: anyone waiting for the game should now treat 2027 as the current window, but should not read a specific season or quarter into the announcement. More detailed information will need to come from a later update by FromSoftware or Nintendo.

Our opinion

A move from 2026 to 2027 is disappointing, but it is also a useful correction to the schedule rather than a vague promise that leaves the old window hanging around. The important detail is that FromSoftware has changed the public target clearly, while keeping the game’s platform and multiplayer focus intact. Until a more precise date appears, the sensible expectation is to keep The Duskbloods on the radar without treating it as a near-term Switch 2 release.
