News - Here’s How To Check If You Can Play The Duskbloods This Month
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can now check if you were picked for the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/your-first-chance-to-play-the-duskbloods-early-is-next-month/">closed network test for The Duskbloods</a>, but you won't get an email invitation as you might expect.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To see if you can take part in the playtest of From Software's Switch 2 multiplayer title, you'll have to go to the <a href="https://campaign.theduskbloods.jp/p/event/networktest/">website for the network test</a>. From there, click on the three-line menu on the top right of the page and select "Account" to go to your <a href="https://campaign.theduskbloods.jp/p/event/networktest/mypage/">personal page</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once there, you'll see your selection results--the page will tell you either way. Unfortunately, if you see blue "You were <strong>not selected</strong> to participate" text, you didn't make it in, which stings harder than reading "YOU DIED" in Dark Souls.</p>
<figure data-wp-interactive="core/image" data-wp-context="{ "core": { "image": { "initialized": true } } }" class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-ref-id="1843151" data-wp-on--click="actions.core.image.showLightbox" style="cursor: zoom-in" src="https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Screenshot-2026-08-07-093408.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1843151" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Here's what the selection results look like for the lucky players chosen.</figcaption></figure>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those selected for the network test can find their download code on the website starting Tuesday, August 18, at 6 AM PT/9 AM ET. The network test will run at the following times:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Friday, August 21: 3 AM to 7 AM PT / 6 AM to 10 AM ET</li>
<li>Friday, August 21: 7 PM to 11 PM PT / 10 PM to 2 AM ET</li>
<li>Saturday, August 22: 11 AM to 3 PM PT / 2 PM to 6 PM ET</li>
<li>Sunday, August 23: 3 AM to 7 AM PT / 6 AM to 10 AM ET</li>
<li>Sunday, August 23: 7 PM to 11 PM PT/ 10 PM to 2 AM ET</li>
</ul>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There still haven't been too many details about The Duskbloods since its <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/the-duskbloods-trailer-breakdown-all-the-details-in-from-softwares-switch-2-exclusive/2900-6393/">initial reveal over a year ago</a>, so participants will be able to learn much more about the game firsthand through this playtest. From Software has yet to announce a release date, but <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-duskbloods-is-getting-a-network-test-soon-but-no-release-date-in-sight/">The Duskbloods is apparently hitting the Switch 2 this year</a>. </p>
