The Duskbloods Officially Delayed to 2027, and That’s Probably for the Best

We can stop wondering whether FromSoftware and Nintendo were going to delay the upcoming PvPvE title, The Duskbloods, as they revealed today on Twitter that the game has officially been delayed to 2027.

According to the message, the game is in its final adjustment stage, and the decision has been made to push the launch window to 2027. FromSoftware also apologized to players who have been patiently awaiting the game’s release and thanked them for their continued support.

Honestly, the delay is the right call. I wasn’t all that impressed with the game, and I felt it wasn’t up to par with FromSoftware’s past releases. And I wasn’t alone in that thought. I’ve read messages from multiple people who participated in the network test, and while they enjoyed it, they also felt the game simply wasn’t ready.

There were reports of server issues, input lag, performance problems, and concerns about the game’s PvPvE combat. While some players enjoyed their time with The Duskbloods, others, most, including myself and I’m a massive Fromsoftware fan, came away unimpressed. Given that reception, I think delaying the game to 2027 is the right move, especially if FromSoftware can use that extra time to address those concerns.

Now that we know the game has been delayed, that gives the developers at least a few more months to work on it. And even though we know The Duskbloods is now coming in 2027, we still don’t have an exact release date. It could be early 2027 or even sometime in the middle of the year. Even still, at least we finally know what’s going on, and we can stop speculating.

The Duskbloods is releasing exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.
