Players selected to participate in The Duskbloods Network Test now have codes and are able to download the game client.
The Duskbloods Network Test kicks off Friday, August 21, and will be live intermittently until August 24, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
Players were able to apply to participate in the Network Test in late July, and successful applicants were notified on August 7.
Now, successful applicants can revisit the Account page on The Duskbloods Network Test website to view their Nintendo Switch 2 download code.
The Duskbloods doesn’t have a confirmed release date, but FromSoftware confirmed earlier this year that it would release in 2026.
The Duskbloods Network Test will be live at the following times:
- August 21, 11 AM – 3 PM, BST
- August 22, 3 AM – 7 AM, BST
- August 22, 7 PM – 11 PM, BST
- August 23, 11 AM – 3 PM, BST
- August 24, 3 AM – 7 AM, BST
The Duskbloods is an online-only multiplayer game, but in April 2025, game director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed that FromSoftware is continuing to make single-player experiences, saying, “As previously mentioned, this is an online multiplayer title at its core, but this doesn’t mean that we as a company have decided to shift to a more multiplayer-focused direction with titles going forward.
“The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Elden Ring was also announced, and we still intend to actively develop single-player-focused games such as this that embrace our more traditional style.”
