The Duskbloods Testing Canceled - FromSoftware Apologizes for Server Issues

For long-time fans of the studio, this is nothing new.

FromSoftware's projects are known not only for their difficulty, but also for their very, very problematic online modes. The upcoming The Duskbloods was no exception in this regard — the closed network test on Nintendo Switch 2 consoles clearly did not go as the developers originally intended.

Today is the first day of the August round of The Duskbloods testing. Invited players tried to connect but encountered problems logging in. For some time, the developers remained silent, and the situation did not improve. Soon they advised players to try sitting closer to the router or using a wired connection:

If you are using a wireless internet connection while participating in The Duskbloods closed network test, you may experience interruptions depending on your network configuration. In such a case, try connecting while near your router or modem, or use a wired connection.

Ultimately, FromSoftware decided to cancel the testing, and the creators of The Duskbloods are now busy improving the servers:

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the server failures in The Duskbloods. We are very sorry that this happened, especially after you waited so long for the test to begin, but today's network test has concluded. We continue to work on server improvements and will inform you of the date of the next test soon.
