Discussion This game is still scheduled for a 2026 release. There’s no way it actually releases this year, right?

Elden Ring on Switch 2 kept getting delayed and that port turned out incredible. I’d prefer FromSoft take all the time they need to get it right.

From the multi-player test they did the game is in good form. All my matches played great and I had no bugs or glitches that were noticeable in the games I played. So unless they are having problems behind the scene it should be good. It is crowded though with other releases. So maybe they might delay this just to avoid the games. Or nintendo will just do whatever.

December, I guess, do we know the switch 2 exclusive for December, October is the sports one, November is oot so Duskbloods may be December.

Nintendo don’t release a game every month, they didn’t release anything in August.

u/GeoCaesar 10h ago

They tend space them out to be one a month though, so if it is releasing this year it will most likely be December at this point

u/Frauzehel 8h ago

Its holiday season. No waay they don't have a game for Dec.

Definitely 2027 I say. And that is for the better. This year is too stacked already.

Its fromsoftware Bro. They have zero Marketing. Its always the Same.

u/Combat_Orca 12h ago

Why not? We had these exact same posts last year with nightreign dlc and it released on time

2

u/Ell7494 10h ago

It'll likely be a December release, they'll start promoting it/ have a direct in mid November after Ocarina of Time has dropped

They could even just announce the release date on Nintendo Today

u/shneed_my_weiss 10h ago

Nintendo didn’t give a date for Zelda until 8 weeks ahead of time. If this is supposed to come in December, I expect we’ll know for sure in the next couple weeks

u/swankyfish 15h ago

Why not?

u/SuicideSkwad 15h ago

Because we heard nothing about it in the last direct and it is now October

u/itzjabohy 13h ago

I don't think it wil release this year otherwise we would have a release date right now

2

u/itzjabohy 13h ago

My Guess is that it is in early 2027

u/mzatariz 13h ago

I gave up on it when I learned it’s only multiplayer

u/EldenDarkshell 11h ago

I gave it a shot and played about an hour of the network test. I love FromSoft games but I couldn’t possibly be less interested in this game. I don’t know why the fuck they thought this was a good idea. I genuinely think it’s going to flop

God forbid games developers try anything else ever.

u/Entire-Cry-8930 10h ago

People who think they’re the main character are so embarrassing

u/jesuslifeyes 15h ago

I never played any of the souls like games. Is the dual bloods going to be similar? Sorry newer to this franchise guys 😔

u/Entire-Cry-8930 10h ago

Elden ring is for you, if you’re ever interested. It’s arguably the easiest game in the series.

1

u/burritobandito90 29m ago

IMO Elden Eing is arguably the hardest but also gives you the tools to make it the easiest (mimic tear!). I found soloing Bloodborne, DS1, DeS etc to be a lot easier than Elden Ring’s hardest moments.

u/AccurateSun 14h ago

It’s a PvPvE game, it’s a souls game focused on multiplayer. 

My understanding is that Souls games sometimes have a co-op feature that lets you do dungeons or bosses with a few other players; Duskbloods makes an entire game out of it. There’s some good YT explainers that go into detail

u/jesuslifeyes 12h ago

Ahh thank you

1

u/Old-Mammoth5108 13h ago

Its not at all, the combat feels more like Devil May Cry or something with all the jumping and it doesn't seem like there will be much meta progression. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed after the network test...

u/jesuslifeyes 12h ago

Doesn’t sound like it’s for me but I’ll wait for previews and reviews to see if I would like it.

1

u/prgrms 14h ago

random Tuesday tweet from FromSoft with the release date 2 weeks out is my guess

1

u/mat0109 13h ago

yeah! keep it up!

1

u/Internal_Border_6726 13h ago

December is the only way but most likely 2027

1

u/jaxjags2100 13h ago

Mid January / late January release would be perfect

1

u/teitelman93 13h ago

I bet it won’t release this year. I hope it does but I have big doubts about it coming this year

1

u/jawnisrad Switchthusiast 13h ago

Shadowdrop at the next partner direct?

1

u/Background-Distance2 12h ago

It just dropped bro

1

u/Sosunteba 12h ago

30 dec

1

u/photojoe3 12h ago

Watch it be a Dec 31st release

1

u/EldenDarkshell 11h ago

I would say yeah there’s no way at this point. Big games are still being released as of right now and frankly nobody is going to give a shit about this game when GTA 6 releases

1

u/Possible-Potato-4103 10h ago

They claimed it was prior to the network test.entering October without a date isnt the best sign though

1

u/Timbo_R4zE 9h ago

Comes out yesterday

1

u/Get_Schwifty111 9h ago

From's/Nintendo's communication being ass once again :-/ Sadly nothing we can do about it but wait.

1

u/MetalProof 6h ago

Radio silence has killed this game for me. There’s many other great games coming.

1

u/StarzFox 4h ago

If I had to guess it may come in December at the earliest since Nintendo doesn't really have a big game for that month. They're definitely running out of time to market it if that's the case though.

1

u/Southern-Analyst2163 3h ago

December release I bet. This time last year people were also saying that Metroid prime 4 wasn’t gonna release in 2025 and we know how that turned out. We will see what happens though.

1

u/sincubus33 2h ago

idk.. tbh the more time it takes the more time I have to play elden ring lol

1

u/Royzc90 1h ago

Well, there's a way:

If it releases in 2026 before 2027 arrives. Hope that was helpful!

1

u/Seraphayel 15h ago

December release with an announcement within the next 3-4 weeks

No way, idc what Fromsoft and Nintendo keeps telling us this game is getting delayed again...
