We don&#8217;t have a release date as yet \u2014 I&#8217;m hoping FromSoft has the guts to try counterprogramming\u00a0<em>Grand Theft Auto 6<\/em> in November \u2014 but it emerged during Tuesday&#8217;s Nintendo Direct that a closed network test will take place this summer.\u00a0The latest trailer didn&#8217;t give much more away, though we did get a few more peeks at the gothic, <em>Bloodborne<\/em>-esque setting.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Duskbloods \u2013 Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d0ij2uQ87nc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>The Duskbloods<\/em> is a multiplayer game in which you&#8217;ll fight with and against up to seven other players. It features &#8220;blood-based powers that transform your character and combat style,&#8221; and you&#8217;ll be competing to snag a prize called the First Blood. The sounds fittingly ominous for a game from this particular studio.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, FromSoft has another game coming to Switch 2 this year. The long-awaited port of <em>Elden Ring<\/em> will arrive on the console on August 28.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2190497\/fromsoftwares-switch-2-exclusive-the-duskbloods-will-have-a-closed-network-test-soon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ll fight with and against up to seven other players in this action game. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; FromSoftware FromSoftware&#8217;s Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[10211,24488,4365,14605,3628,255,2718],"class_list":["post-59527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-closed","tag-duskbloods","tag-exclusive","tag-fromsoftwares","tag-network","tag-switch","tag-test","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
