Checking Your Status for The Duskbloods Beta Requires a Trip Back to the Registration Site
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
FromSoftware has finalized selections for The Duskbloods network test, requiring players to check their status directly on the registration website rather than waiting for an email.
FromSoftware has officially wrapped up selections for the upcoming network test for The Duskbloods, but finding out your status is not as simple as checking your inbox. According to a report by Willa Rowe on Polygon, players waiting on an email notification will actually need to return to the original registration website, head to the account menu, and log back in using their Nintendo account to see if they made the cut. In a classic nod to the studio's brutal reputation, the successful selection notification even appears in a red message format that heavily mirrors their iconic death screens, while those who missed out receive a blue notice instead.
For those lucky enough to secure a spot, codes for the network test will roll out directly through that same website starting on August 18 at 6:00 a.m. PDT. The actual test sessions are tightly scheduled, consisting of five separate four-hour windows running between Friday, August 21, and Sunday, August 23. This rigorous testing phase gives players a brief window to experience the eight-player PvPvE gameplay loop, which pits players against both rival competitors and aggressive NPC threats wrapped in a distinct Victorian Gothic aesthetic.
While the community is still adjusting to FromSoftware leaning further into multiplayer projects following Elden Ring Nightrein, anticipation for this new IP remains high ahead of its exclusive launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. Head over to Polygon to read the full breakdown and check your registration status.
