The Duskbloods Slips Into 2027

FromSoftware has pushed The Duskbloods out of its 2026 launch window. The Switch 2 exclusive will now arrive at an unspecified point in 2027, which means no month or quarter has been committed to yet.

That is a longer wait than players were expecting. With 2026 nearly finished, Switch 2 owners who were counting on a FromSoftware release this year will have to be patient for at least several more months, and the game's exclusive status means there is no other platform to turn to in the meantime.

The Duskbloods has stood out from the studio's catalog since it was first shown. It has been described as a mix of Bloodborne, Sekiro and Dark Souls, with jetpacks and dinosaurs added to the formula. That is a far more playful set of ingredients than the grim, deliberate tone FromSoftware is known for, and it is a big part of why fans have been curious about how the game would feel in practice.

Delays are common in the industry, and a move into a new year does not automatically signal trouble. Still, the update leaves the game without a firm release window, and it will likely be one of the titles people watch most closely in the coming months to see whether FromSoftware and Nintendo share a date, more gameplay, or a clearer picture of what the extra development time is for.
