Duskbloods network test live: dates, times and Switch 2 impressions

The Duskbloods closed network test begins today, giving invited players their first hands-on opportunity with the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive from FromSoftware. The test runs from Friday until Monday, spread across multiple 4-hour sessions.

How to join and session times

Players who received an invite after last month's sign-ups can take part in the network test. The schedule spans four days, with each session lasting four hours, though the exact times for each session have been outlined for participants.

This multiplayer-centric action game marks a significant moment for Switch 2 owners eager to experience a new FromSoftware title ahead of its official release.

First impressions and what to expect

As the test gets underway, early impressions will focus on gameplay mechanics, online stability, and whether The Duskbloods delivers a fresh experience or feels like a departure from the studio's established formula. The question on many players' minds is whether this becomes a spiritual successor to Bloodborne or signals creative fatigue.

Live updates will track the network test's progress, including player feedback and technical performance during each session.
