Regarding the software “The Duskbloods” for the Nintendo Switch 2, we have decided to allocate a period for final adjustments to the game rules and balance. This is in order to realize the concept of this title—enjoyable not only through direct combat but also through various maneuvers and diverse strategies—at an even higher level, based on the evaluations received from all users during the network test held in August, and to deliver an even better gaming experience. As a result, we will be changing the release date to 2027. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this will cause to those of you who have been eagerly awaiting the game, and we kindly ask for your understanding.
