The Duskbloods Release Date Leaked by Preview Coverage

A preview published by The Guardian ahead of the Closed Network Test suggests FromSoftware's The Duskbloods will launch on September 24, 2026.

An official release date for FromSoftware's upcoming multiplayer-focused game, The Duskbloods, may have been accidentally revealed ahead of schedule. While neither Nintendo nor developer FromSoftware have made a formal announcement, a release date of September 24, 2026, was published in early media coverage.

Several media outlets recently published hands-on previews of The Duskbloods ahead of its Closed Network Test, which is scheduled to run this upcoming weekend. While most previews focused on the game's class-based gameplay mechanics, a preview published by UK newspaper The Guardian included a specific release line. At the bottom of its article, the publication noted, “The Duskbloods is released on 24 September.”

Because no other outlet included this detail and there has been no official word from the publisher or developer, the inclusion is widely suspected to be an accidental leak of information intended for a later announcement. While the casual phrasing suggests September 24 is the current internal target, the date remains unconfirmed and could still be subject to change or correction. If the date is accurate, it positions the game's launch for late September 2026, joining other major upcoming titles scheduled for the Fall season, such as Wolverine, Blood of Dawnwalker, and Control Resonant.
