Footage from The Duskbloods has surfaced ahead of FromSoftware's planned closed network test for the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. The leaked gameplay emerged before the test's scheduled start, and at least one preview clip appears to have inadvertently revealed the game's release date. Details from the test footage remain limited, but the leak has given players an early look at what the studio is developing for Nintendo's next hardware.
The incident underscores how difficult it can be to contain information during pre-release testing phases. It's unclear whether the leaked material came from test participants or another source, though the accidental date reveal suggests the footage may have originated from official preview materials rather than unauthorized capture.
- The Duskbloods gameplay footage surfaced before FromSoftware's closed network test, which was set to begin shortly after the leak.
- One preview inadvertently included what appears to be the game's release date, offering an unplanned look at the studio's timeline for the Switch 2 exclusive.
- The leak demonstrates how challenging it is to control information flow during the testing and preview phase of major releases.
