Typically, when a company holds a beta or network test, the selected participants are informed via e-mail. In the case of The Duskbloods, you'll need to go back to the website you signed up on. From there, click on the "Account" option in the side menu. Once you log in again with your Nintendo account. You'll then either see a blue message saying "You were NOT SELECTED to participate" or a red "You were SELECTED to participate" message. Congratulations — or sorry. It is a little fun that FromSoftware made the good news message emulate the developer's notorious "YOU DIED" screens. Maybe it is telling players they'll be seeing a lot of red messages like this during the network test when enemies inevitably demolish them.
Codes for the network test will be distributed via the same website starting on Aug. 18 at 6:00 a.m. PDT. The test itself will consist of five four-hour sessions taking place between Friday Aug. 21 and Sunday Aug. 23. While the game was revealed over a year ago, we still don't know much about FromSoftware's latest title. What we can gather based on available information is that it is an eight-player PvPvE experience that puts players against each other and NPC threats. While the game is an original IP, the Victorian Gothic aesthetic gives major Bloodborne vibes.
The announcement that FromSoftware would be making another multiplayer-focused title after Elden Ring Nightrein has been met with some criticism from fans. The studio has mostly made its name by developing challenging but immaculately designed single-player experiences (with some co-op features). The Duskbloods is scheduled for release later this year exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, though no date has been given.
