No, The Duskbloods isn't releasing on 24th September, according to Nintendo

Nintendo has firmly denied that The Duskbloods will be released on September 24th, despite it having been mentioned in a preview of the game. This date appeared at the conclusion of The Guardian's preview coverage, which was penned during a trip to Tokyo for an advance playthrough of the game prior to this weekend's upcoming network test.

Interestingly, other media outlets not part of the trip do not include the release date, instead stating that it will be released later this year. Eurogamer reached out to Nintendo to verify the authenticity of this date, and received an official statement from a Nintendo spokesperson: "The release date is inaccurate because there is no information regarding [the] release date of the Duskbloods."

This date reveal occurred the day before a closed network test that members of the public had the opportunity to sign up for following a Nintendo Direct trailer last month. Additionally, leaked gameplay footage had surfaced online earlier, only to be re-uploaded to social media platform Bilibili before being taken down once more.
