FromSoftware's new title, The Duskbloods, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, began its network test on August 21. However, the first day of testing was cut short due to severe server issues.

The test runs from August 21 to August 24, with different time slots for each day. The first session was scheduled from 19:00 to 23:00 on August 21 but ended around 20:30. FromSoftware stated via its official X account, 'We apologize for the inconvenience caused by server issues. Today's (August 21) test has concluded. We will continue to work on server improvements and provide further updates.' Many users were unable to play even before the announcement due to connection failures.

The purpose of this test included checking server load prior to launch. Fortunately, the second day of testing, which began at 11:00 on August 22, is proceeding smoothly. Subsequent tests are scheduled for August 23 from 03:00 to 07:00 and 19:00 to 23:00. The final day, August 24, will run from 11:00 to 15:00.

The Duskbloods is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive scheduled for release at the end of the year. The game follows the story of 'The Duskbloods,' who have gained superhuman powers, as they clash over the 'Primeval Blood.' It supports up to 8-player multiplayer and features over 10 distinct characters.
