The Duskbloods: Network Test arrives in August

The Duskbloods is an 8-player PvPvE multiplayer action title, an absolute exclusive for Nintendo Switch 2. The work features a gothic style and characters inspired by vampires, called Bloodsworn. The main reason for interest in this title is undoubtedly its author: Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game designer who, with the FromSoftware studio, has signed milestones of the soulslike genre such as Dark Souls and Elden Ring. 

Network Test Date

Next month, a closed network test will take place, which will serve to verify the stability of The Duskbloods' servers, the correct functioning of the multiplayer, and gameplay balance. The date for the Network Test is set from August 21st to 23rd: to participate, you need to own a Nintendo Switch 2 and an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, then register on the official website on the dedicated page, which will be active from July 22nd to 28th. 

Those who are selected will receive a code to download the trial version of the game from the Nintendo eShop. FromSoftware will announce who has been selected on August 7th. We remind you that The Duskbloods will be released in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2; to learn more about the game, you can read this interview with Miyazaki.
