The Duskbloods Could Launch on September 24, According to a New Report
The reported date came from a Tokyo press event attended by journalists, with Nintendo covering transport and accommodation costs.
The Duskbloods could launch on September 24, 2026, according to a new Guardian feature tied to a press event in Tokyo.
The report gives September 24 as the release date for FromSoftware’s upcoming game. Journalists attended the event, and Nintendo paid for their transport and accommodation.
The September date is not confirmed yet
For now, September 24 should be treated as a reported launch date rather than a formal public confirmation. The information surfaced through coverage of the Tokyo event, and no separate announcement is included alongside the report.
If the date is accurate, players may only have a little over a month to wait before The Duskbloods arrives. Nintendo and FromSoftware have not provided a formal launch confirmation in the information currently available.
A late-August Network Test is also planned
The Duskbloods is a third-person multiplayer action RPG set in a gothic world and is planned for Nintendo Switch 2. Its Network Test is scheduled for the end of August, and previews are already beginning to appear. That testing period fits a game nearing release, but it does not prove that September 24 is the final date.
The reported date would create a crowded launch window
If the date holds, The Duskbloods would arrive during a September window that also includes Marvel’s Wolverine, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, and Minecraft Dungeons 2. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28, 2026, while the console’s price increase is scheduled for September 1. The reported release would therefore come close to another FromSoftware game and a hardware price change.
