FromSoftware, renowned for its genre-defining titles such as Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring, has sparked excitement in the gaming community with the unexpected appearance of its upcoming game, The Duskbloods, in the Nintendo Switch 2 ecosystem.
The highly anticipated title was recently listed in the 'upcoming releases' section of the Australian Nintendo eShop—making it the first official sighting of the game on Nintendo's next-generation hardware platform. This marks a significant development for both fans and industry watchers, as The Duskbloods has remained shrouded in mystery since its original announcement.
FromSoftware, celebrated for its intricate world-building and challenging gameplay mechanics, has not released new details or gameplay footage for The Duskbloods in recent months, fueling speculation and anticipation among loyal followers and newcomers alike.
Notably, the inclusion in the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop confirms FromSoftware's commitment to supporting Nintendo’s latest console iteration, which is set to play a pivotal role in the company's hardware roadmap. In an equally intriguing development, a Finnish retailer listed The Duskbloods with a release date of March 27.
While retailer listings are not always definitive, such a specific date appearing close to an official eShop update heightens interest.
If accurate, this would suggest a swift and imminent launch for the title.
However, neither Nintendo nor FromSoftware has issued a formal statement regarding the exact release timeline.
For now, the March 27 listing should be regarded as a placeholder date until confirmed by official sources. On the current state of the announcement, a representative familiar with the matter explained, 'The presence of The Duskbloods on multiple retail platforms—including the Australian Nintendo eShop and international vendor sites—signals ongoing preparations for its public unveiling and release.' This aligns with Nintendo's typical pattern, where major first-party or high-profile third-party releases are sometimes teased via online listings and then formally showcased during events like Nintendo Direct presentations. FromSoftware's reputation as a leading developer in the action RPG genre positions The Duskbloods as one of the most anticipated new Switch 2 games.
Nintendo’s collaboration with such a storied developer further cements the Switch 2’s place as a vital platform for premium gaming experiences.
With the eShop listing now live, fans are keenly watching for further updates, including a possible feature during an upcoming Nintendo Direct or an official press release outlining release details and gameplay features. As of now, The Duskbloods is confirmed as an upcoming entry to the Nintendo Switch 2 library, with retail and digital storefront activity indicating the launch may be sooner rather than later.
Stay tuned to official Nintendo and FromSoftware channels for verified release information and announcements surrounding one of 2024’s most awaited game launches.
