FromSoftware 'Sincerely Apologizes' for The Duskbloods Network Test 'Server Issues,' Ends First Slot Early

FromSoftware, the developer behind the upcoming action game The Duskbloods, has sincerely apologized for the network test server issues that prevented players from logging in on the first day of testing. The game, set to release as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, was originally scheduled for a limited release to a select group of players.

However, when the tests began on August 21, 2026, it quickly became apparent that most players would be unable to access the game due to server problems. Many fans took to social media to express their frustration, sharing screenshots of the game's atmospheric title screen. FromSoftware acknowledged the inconvenience and promised to work on improving the servers, with additional tests still scheduled throughout the weekend.
