FromSoftware Asks Players Not to Leak Footage of The Duskbloods, Switch 2 Exclusive Still in Development
Summary
On August 21, 2026, the official account of FromSoftware's new title The Duskbloods issued a statement regarding the recent closed network test, requesting confidentiality from participants. The studio welcomes players to share their impressions and discuss test content, but implores them not to post or stream any video or images, as the current build contains data still in development and does not represent final quality. This move is seen as FromSoftware learning from industry incidents and proactively preventing leaks. Around the same time, GTA 6 is embroiled in legal and public controversy due to massive gameplay leaks, while FromSoftware is drawing a clear boundary for The Duskbloods: "discussable but not visually shareable." This approach allows player word-of-mouth to spread while containing unfinished content within reasonable limits. Currently, The Duskbloods is confirmed as a Switch 2 exclusive, and this test marks a key milestone in development, though the studio emphasizes the build is far from final. For players, it means they can openly exchange test experiences without seeing direct gameplay footage. For the industry, this practice could become a reference for how publishers handle test version content, balancing marketing and secrecy. As testing proceeds, more details may be released through official channels.
