Rather than a traditional single-player RPG, it puts up to eight players into a PvPvE arena as <em>Bloodsworn<\/em>: warriors who have undergone forbidden blood rites to gain superhuman powers and unique weapons. Every match tasks players with hunting down rivals and surviving AI threats simultaneously to claim the mysterious <em>First Blood<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The game was first revealed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/the-duskbloods-switch-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in June 2026<\/a> and is one of the console&#8217;s headline exclusives for the year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d0ij2uQ87nc\" title=\"The Duskbloods \u2013 Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>The Duskbloods \u2013 Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 \u2014 via Nintendo of America on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How to Sign Up for The Duskbloods Closed Network Test<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/duskbloods-warrior-weapon.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A Bloodsworn warrior in white garb holds a rusted weapon in a dark castle hall\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of FromSoftware \/ Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The process is straightforward and takes about two minutes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Visit the official registration page<\/strong> at <a href=\"https:\/\/campaign.theduskbloods.jp\/p\/event\/networktest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign.theduskbloods.jp<\/a> \u2014 the page goes live tonight at 10pm SGT.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sign in with your Nintendo Account<\/strong> \u2014 make sure it is the same account linked to your Switch 2 console.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Submit your application<\/strong> before the deadline: <strong>28 July 2026 at 9:59pm SGT<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wait for the selection email<\/strong> \u2014 FromSoftware will notify chosen participants on <strong>7 August at 9pm SGT<\/strong>, with a download code for the test build included.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nintendo Switch 2 console<\/li>\n<li>Active <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/sg\/switch\/online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo Switch Online<\/a> membership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spots are limited \u2014 FromSoftware has not disclosed the cap, but closed network tests for high-profile games fill up fast.

Each match supports up to eight players in a PvPvE format: you are fighting AI enemies <em>and<\/em> rival Bloodsworn simultaneously, racing to claim the First Blood. The range of Bloodsworn types \u2014 each with distinct weapons and blood-based powers \u2014 means no two matches play out the same way.<\/p>\n<p>The full game does not yet have a confirmed release date beyond 2026. This network test is the first time players outside Nintendo or FromSoftware will get their hands on it, making a spot all the more worth fighting for.<\/p>\n<p>Head to <a href=\"https:\/\/campaign.theduskbloods.jp\/p\/event\/networktest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the official registration page<\/a> tonight from 10pm SGT, and good luck with the selection.
