FromSoftware's The Duskbloods will hold a closed network test on the Nintendo Switch 2 from August 21 to 24. Players can apply for access using a Nintendo account during a one-week window starting July 22.
The test sessions are scheduled across multiple time slots in August. Selected participants will play matches supporting up to eight players in a combined PvP and PvE environment, where characters earn Victory Points based on objectives.
Applications open July 22 at 7 a.m. PT and close July 28 at 6:59 a.m. PT. Those chosen will receive notification on August 7 at 6 a.m. PT and must own a Nintendo Switch 2 along with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
FromSoftware has stated that capture features will be disabled during the test. The developer also warned that bugs and balance issues are expected at this stage. The game remains scheduled for release sometime in 2026.
