GAMES

From Software's upcoming title The Duskbloods hit a snag during its first public Network Test session. Players preparing for the game encountered widespread login failures instead of enjoying the gameplay preview. This disruption matters because it delays the community's ability to test the game's online infrastructure ahead of launch.

From Software closes the session early after widespread login errors

The Network Test was scheduled to begin at 11 AM BST on the announcement date. Participants quickly ran into 'Failed to log in to The Duskbloods game server' errors. These technical issues prevented access to the game's servers for many users.

From Software responded to the outage by closing the session early. The developer issued an apology via social media to address the community's frustration. The official statement acknowledged the login issues and thanked players for their patience.

Despite the rough start, the development schedule continues. Four additional Network Test sessions remain scheduled for The Duskbloods. We've been tracking The Duskbloods closely — see our earlier coverage on The Duskbloods Previews May Drop Before.

The immediate failure does not reflect the final state of the game. From Software has confirmed that the remaining test sessions will proceed as planned. Players can still expect further opportunities to test the online features in the coming weeks.
