FromSoftware re-emerged at the June 2026 Nintendo Direct to reveal a quick look at its new multiplayer game, The Duskbloods, promising to launch a closed network test this summer.
It’s been quite some time since we saw the Bloodborne developer’s PvPvE Switch 2 exclusive, which is exactly why the team is planning to give fans a hands-on look at it in the coming months. It both looks very FromSoftware and very not, showing a completely new world for players to fight and die in.
The Duskbloods gameplay reveal gave fans a peek behind the curtain at what the studio has been up to, and we'll get an even closer look at it when that closed network test starts summer 2026. While we wait for a release date, you can see everything revealed during its dedicated segment of the presentation below.
