Miyazaki's New Game 'The Duskbloods' Stumbles in First Test, Second Round Begins Tomorrow

Summary
The Duskbloods, the new action game developed by FromSoftware and exclusive to Switch 2, officially launched its public network test yesterday. However, shortly after the test began, a large number of players reported being unable to log in to the servers, experiencing connection timeouts and other issues, sparking widespread discussion. In response, the official support account acknowledged the server login problems and said they were taking countermeasures. Today, the official account confirmed that the second network test will run from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Beijing Time on August 22. As Hidetaka Miyazaki's first new IP since Elden Ring, The Duskbloods has already faced multiple leaks of gameplay footage, and now the first day test server failure adds to its turbulent rollout. The quick scheduling of a second test indicates the developer is actively addressing issues, while also heightening player anticipation for the final product. For the industry, this high-profile Switch 2 exclusive facing technical difficulties serves as a reminder of the challenges in hardware-specific development. Players should seize the upcoming test window to explore this eagerly awaited dark fantasy action title.
