Bad news for everyone who wanted to round off the year with a new FromSoftware game: FromSoftware is delaying The Duskbloods to 2027. The studio announced this on Thursday, according to GameSpot. So, the Switch 2 exclusive won't be hitting shelves this year after all.
When Will The Duskbloods Be Released Now?
It doesn't get any more specific: The studio only states "2027," without a precise date or release window. So it's unclear whether the game will arrive in spring or closer to the end of the year. FromSoftware apologizes to players for the delay. Additionally, a new trailer was released, as reported by LevelUp; fans reacted with disappointment to the postponement.
Why Were Many Fans Expecting a Delay?
Speculation had already been circulating in the days leading up to this. Officially, 2026 was the target until recently, without a fixed date. A closed network test reportedly only began on August 21st – for previous FromSoftware titles, there were usually only a few months between such tests and the release. Furthermore, the year's release calendar was shrinking, and communication remained sparse. The announcement now confirms what some fans had already feared.
What Does This Mean for Switch 2 Owners?
From our perspective, the delay is a setback for the Switch 2's winter lineup, but also a sign that FromSoftware prefers to polish longer rather than deliver a half-finished online game. Since it's an exclusive title, there's no alternative platform: those who want the game will have to wait. We'll keep you updated as soon as a date is confirmed.
