FromSoftware has canceled the first network test for The Duskbloods after players encountered widespread connectivity errors that prevented stable access.
The studio said today's session is closed while it works to improve server capacity, and it will publish future test schedules at a later date.
The Duskbloods is still planned to reach Nintendo Switch 2 this year.
The Duskbloods, the upcoming title from FromSoftware, was due to run its initial online technical test today on hardware reported to include the Nintendo Switch 2.
Early participation was hampered by immediate connection failures, with players reporting errors and difficulty staying online.
According to the developer’s social update, incoming traffic exceeded available capacity and affected the planned session.
In a brief statement, FromSoftware apologized to players for the interruption and confirmed the immediate cancellation.
The studio said the session will not continue today and that engineers will focus on improving server stability before announcing new test dates.
Rewriting that message into journalistic terms: FromSoftware apologized for the inconvenience caused by game server problems, confirmed that today's network session is closed, and said it will work on server improvements and provide updated schedules later.
FromSoftware is an established developer with a history of critically and commercially successful titles, including the Dark Souls series, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and 2022’s Elden Ring.
The studio’s experience with online elements in its past games gives context to the decision to run network tests before wider release, as server-side stability is critical for multiplayer features and stress testing.
For Nintendo-focused audiences, The Duskbloods’ planned arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 this year remains the headline platform detail.
Any official storefront listing or eShop availability will be announced by the publisher when launch dates and distribution details are finalized.
Fans awaiting further information should monitor FromSoftware’s official channels and Nintendo communications for confirmed test rescheduling, potential Nintendo Direct updates, and eShop postings.
This network-test cancellation underscores the importance of server scalability for high-demand online tests.
FromSoftware’s next update should clarify when players can expect rescheduled sessions and any adjustments to test scope or platform support.
