FromSoftware titles stay on Switch 2

KADOKAWA’s latest investor materials did not add release dates for FromSoftware’s two Switch 2 projects, but they did keep both games in the company’s 2026 pipeline. That is the core of the latest update behind renewed attention on Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and The Duskbloods after NoobFeed published a May 20 report saying both remain lined up for Nintendo’s new system. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) The two titles matter for different reasons. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is the Switch 2 version of FromSoftware’s best-known recent hit, while The Duskbloods is a newer project Nintendo is already promoting as exclusive to the platform. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) What has not changed in the latest public materials is the lack of a firm launch date for either game. (nintendo.com) ### Where did the “still coming in 2026” update actually come from? May 14 is the key date in the current cycle. KADOKAWA’s investor relations page posted its full-year earnings materials that day, including an earnings-results file and a fact sheet for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Those are the materials NoobFeed said it was drawing from when it reported that both FromSoftware titles remained scheduled within the Switch 2’s 2026 slate. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) NoobFeed’s May 20 article said KADOKAWA had “shared information with investors” showing that both Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and The Duskbloods would still be released globally in 2026 on Nintendo’s next-generation console. The article did not cite a day-and-date launch plan, and the KADOKAWA investor index visible online does not itself provide those dates on the listing page. (nintendo.com) ### What is officially confirmed for The Duskbloods right now? April 2, 2025 is the clearest official marker for The Duskbloods. In a KADOKAWA news release, the company said the game “will be released worldwide in 2026 on the Nintendo Switch 2” and listed the release date as “Scheduled for 2026.” It also described the title as a PvPvE multiplayer action game for up to eight players. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) Nintendo’s own U.S. Switch 2 page also still presents The Duskbloods as “available exclusively” for Nintendo Switch 2. That page does not add a more precise date, but it does show Nintendo continuing to feature the game in its Switch 2 lineup. (noobfeed.com) ### What about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition? NoobFeed’s report names Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition alongside The Duskbloods as still slated for 2026 on Switch 2, based on KADOKAWA’s investor communication. Other gaming outlets surfaced the same reading from KADOKAWA’s latest report, but the public material available in this check does not show a standalone official release page with a specific date attached. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) That leaves Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition in a narrower public position than The Duskbloods: it is still being reported as part of the 2026 plan, but without a newly published official date in the materials reviewed here. (nintendo.com) ### So what changed this week, and what did not? May 20 brought attention back to the story because NoobFeed framed KADOKAWA’s investor update as a fresh reassurance after months of limited public discussion. The reporting pointed to continuity, not a new launch announcement. No specific launch day, price, or preorder timing was provided for either title in the sources reviewed here. (noobfeed.com) The most concrete official public language remains KADOKAWA’s “scheduled for 2026” wording for The Duskbloods and Nintendo’s continued listing of that game on its Switch 2 site. ### What should readers watch next? (noobfeed.com) KADOKAWA’s investor relations page is the next place to watch for updated earnings files, fact sheets, or presentation materials naming release timing for FromSoftware’s Switch 2 projects. Nintendo’s Switch 2 game pages are the other obvious checkpoint, especially for The Duskbloods, which remains featured there as an exclusive. (noobfeed.com) As of Thursday, May 21, 2026, the public record reviewed for this story supports one narrow update: Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and The Duskbloods are still being treated as 2026 Switch 2 titles, but neither has a firm public release date in the materials cited here.
