Kadokawa lists FromSoftware 2026 games

Kadokawa’s latest investor materials gave a fresh public checkpoint on FromSoftware’s near-term schedule. In documents posted on May 14, the Japanese media group listed both *The Duskbloods* and *ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition* in its 2026 game pipeline. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) The filing matters because Kadokawa owns FromSoftware and uses its earnings materials to outline upcoming releases across the group. The company did not provide exact launch dates in the investor summary surfaced on its IR page, but the 2026 window for both games is explicit in official materials and related publisher pages. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) One point that stands out in the current paperwork is platform specificity. *The Duskbloods* is not just listed as a future FromSoftware title; Kadokawa’s earlier April 2 release and Nintendo’s game page both identify it as a Nintendo Switch 2 release for 2026. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) ### Where did this update actually come from? Kadokawa’s investor relations page shows the company published its full-year earnings materials for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 on May 14, 2026. Those materials are the source gaming outlets cited when reporting that the two FromSoftware projects remain scheduled for 2026. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) Kadokawa’s role here is straightforward: FromSoftware is part of the group, so its future slate can appear in group financial documents. That makes the earnings materials a corporate confirmation of timing, even if they do not function like a consumer-facing release-date announcement. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) ### What does the filing say about The Duskbloods? Kadokawa said on April 2 that FromSoftware’s new multiplayer action game *The Duskbloods* would be released worldwide in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2. The company described it as a PvPvE title supporting up to eight players online. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) Nintendo’s own Switch 2 game page also presents *The Duskbloods* as a Switch 2 title from FromSoftware. That means the platform link is not an inference from investors or press coverage; it appears in official company materials from both Kadokawa and Nintendo. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) ### What about Elden Ring Tarnished Edition? Bandai Namco’s official product page says *ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition* is coming in 2026 and includes the base game, the *Shadow of the Erdtree* expansion, and additional content including new armor and Torrent customization. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) FromSoftware’s own April 2 press material also tied *ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition* to Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo regional store pages likewise list the release year as 2026 for the system. ### Why are people focusing on the Switch 2 angle? (nintendo.com) Nintendo and Kadokawa have already publicly attached *The Duskbloods* to Switch 2, which makes the investor filing notable mainly as a reconfirmation rather than a first reveal. The renewed attention comes from seeing that platform and release window repeated inside a formal earnings document. (en.bandainamcoent.eu) Bandai Namco’s materials put *ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition* on the same hardware. Taken together, the official pages show two prominent FromSoftware-related releases currently slated for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. (fromsoftware.jp) ### What still has not been announced? Kadokawa’s May 14 investor page does not list exact launch dates for either game. The company’s IR page currently shows only the earnings release, fact sheet and presentation materials tied to the fiscal-year results. FromSoftware, Nintendo and Bandai Namco have all left the timing at “2026” in the official materials surfaced here. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) The next concrete update is likely to come through a publisher release, a platform-holder showcase, or an updated product page with a specific date.
