FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods network test set for Aug 21-24

gamingJul 15, 202639574

FromSoftware’s Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods will hold a closed network test from August 21 to August 24, with registration opening July 22 and requiring Nintendo Switch Online membership. Posts emphasize getting hands on the game’s multiplayer PvP/PvE loop, especially playing as vampire-like characters with unique weapons and abilities that the previews highlight. Many timeline posts nervously note access will be limited and signing up could be competitive, while separate threads are loudly speculating that Duskbloods’ assets might presage a future Bloodborne sequel. That mix of eager playtest planning and franchise speculation is dominating the conversation around the announcement.

não confiem na fromsoftware. quando eles dizem que vão analisar, entre outras características, o balanceamento do jogo, eles querem na verdade descobrir o que está funcionando pra deixar mais cagado. vão achar um inimigo que te mata em 2 hits e arrumar pra matar em 1

Duskbloods network test......good.....Marathon simply needs to hold out until Duskbloods comes out and then everyone will uniformly agree that extraction shooters are the best genre ever....................the plan is infallible

I think its kind of crazy that Duskbloods is running a network test when people still don't even know what basic structure of a match is going to be. But maybe they wanna see how easy it is for someone to pick up on the game with only in-game instructions?
