It’s an understatement to say that FromSoftware’sThe Duskbloodsstole the show during the April 2nd Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, as many already see the game as a successor toBloodbornein all but name.

But when is the game set to debut? For all looking to settle their Victorian thirst, here’s the latestThe Duskbloodstrailer, when the game is set to be released, and more.

About The Duskbloods

As revealed by FromSoftware,The Duskbloodswill be “a PvPvEfocused multiplayer action title.” The game is also directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and seems to feature way more steampunk influences when compared to his other titles.

According toits official site, the game will see groups of up to eight players take the field as they fight using the powers of the “Blood of the Beginning.” Whether the title will support character creation is still a mystery, although its reveal trailer’s focus on what seems to be at the very least character archetypes —akin to those seen inElden Ring Nightreign— might shine a light on what to expect. You can check out the reveal trailer forThe Duskbloodsbelow:

For all looking for anything related to the game’s setting and lore, it was also revealed on the officialThe Duskbloodssite that a Creator’s Voice interview featuring Miyazaki and focused on its concept and worldview is scheduled to debut on April 4 at 10 PM (of which I can only assume to be JST). The interview will most likely be released through FromSoftware’s official YouTube channel.

The Duskbloods release date and platforms

Although no specific date has been given at the time of writing,The Duskbloodsis expected to be released in 2026, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2. If you’re hoping for the game to be released on other platforms, however, I would not keep my hopes up, as given the way exclusivity deals are known to work and the title’s huge draw toward the Switch 2, it’s unlikely thatThe Duskbloodswill debut anywhere else during at least it’s first year in the market.

WithThe Duskbloodstaken care of, and so you can get ahead of any kind of possible shortages, ensure to also take a look atwhere to pre-order your Nintendo Switch 2.
