FromSoftware locks Duskbloods for Switch 2

KADOKAWA’s investor relations page shows the company published its full-year financial materials for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 on May 14. Those materials, as cited by multiple game outlets, keep FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods on a 2026 release schedule for Nintendo Switch 2 and also list Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the same platform and year. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) That matters because it is one of the clearest recent public markers for FromSoftware’s Switch 2 slate. KADOKAWA is FromSoftware’s parent company, and its earnings materials are a primary corporate source for release-window guidance. (nintendoreporters.com) ### Where did the 2026 timing come from? KADOKAWA posted its earnings release schedule for May 14, 2026 on its IR calendar and IR page. (nintendoeverything.com) Coverage citing the company’s presentation materials said The Duskbloods and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition were both shown as slated for 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2. GamingBible reported on May 18 that the report had “locked in” a 2026 window for The Duskbloods, and other outlets separately described the same KADOKAWA materials as reaffirming both titles for that year. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) ### Why is Elden Ring part of this story too? FromSoftware and KADOKAWA had already announced Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 in an April 2, 2025 news release. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) That release described it as an all-in version of Elden Ring including the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion plus new content, and said more information would follow later. The new point is not that Elden Ring is coming at all, but that KADOKAWA’s more recent financial materials are being read as keeping it in the 2026 Switch 2 pipeline alongside The Duskbloods. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) That places two FromSoftware projects in Nintendo’s current-gen handheld-console lineup. (technobezz.com) ### What else is showing up in the Switch 2 pipeline? Nintendo Everything reported on May 19 that Hotel Barcelona from Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro and Goichi “Suda51” Suda is coming to both Switch 2 and Switch. The outlet said launch timing will be shared later, and that the Nintendo versions will include the base game, the Under New Management overhaul and the Late Check-Out DLC. (group.kadokawa.co.jp) Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition with Switch 2-specific features including enhanced resolution, frame rate improvements, CameraPlay support and GameShare support. Nintendo Everything, citing Imagineer, said on May 7 that the game is set for July 16, 2026. (nintendoreporters.com) ### Does this amount to a broader FromSoftware-Nintendo push? KADOKAWA’s materials, taken at face value, show at least two FromSoftware-linked releases associated with Switch 2 in 2026. The company has not, in the sources reviewed here, provided a specific day-and-date launch for The Duskbloods. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo and FromSoftware have also not published, in the sources reviewed here, a new standalone release-date announcement for The Duskbloods beyond the 2026 window. What the earnings materials appear to do is remove some uncertainty about whether the game was still on that timetable. (nintendo.com) ### What should readers watch next? The next concrete update is likely to come from KADOKAWA, Nintendo or FromSoftware through a release-date announcement or a new platform showcase. For now, the public dates attached to this cluster are May 14 for KADOKAWA’s financial materials, May 19 for Hotel Barcelona’s Switch announcement, and July 16, 2026 for Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
