TL;DR: The September 24 release date floating around? Not confirmed. Nintendo has denied it. The only solid info we have: 2026, Switch 2 exclusive, exact date TBA.
Where Did September 24 Come From?
A single preview article dropped the date September 24, 2026 as The Duskbloods' launch day. It spread fast — a lot of players took it as gospel.
But here's the thing: neither Nintendo nor FromSoftware ever officially confirmed that date.
Nintendo's Response
Two outlets quickly set the record straight:
- Nintendo Wire ran with: Nintendo confirms The Duskbloods is not releasing on September 24.
- NintendoLife followed up: Nintendo has denied the rumoured release date.
To be clear — this isn't a delay. You can't delay something that was never officially dated. It was an error in a preview piece that got picked up and repeated before anyone fact-checked it.
What Do We Actually Know?
Here's where things stand right now:
- The Duskbloods is still targeting a 2026 release
- It's a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive
- The exact release date has not been announced — and September 24 has been specifically denied
Until Nintendo or FromSoftware make an official announcement, any specific date is just speculation.
The Bottom Line
The "September 24" thing wasn't a leak, wasn't a delay — it was inaccurate info from a preview that Nintendo has since corrected.
As of now, the safe bet on The Duskbloods: 2026, Switch 2 only, date TBD. Wait for the official word.
