FromSoftware has delayed The Duskbloods, its Switch 2 exclusive, from 2026 into 2027. The studio did not announce a specific release date within 2027. The developer stated it needs additional time to make final adjustments to game rules and balancing.
The game combines elements from Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Dark Souls, while incorporating jetpacks and dinosaurs into its design. It was originally scheduled to launch this year before the postponement.
The delay pushes back one of the few confirmed titles for Nintendo's next console. Players expecting the game in 2026 will now wait at least another year for its arrival.
