The Duskbloods Closed Network Test and Leaks
The Duskbloods is finally getting its Closed Network Test today, and while those who try the game may have signed NDAs, they won’t all follow them. Expect plenty of leaks in the coming days—footage, posts, or datamines will start revealing information about the title.
Leaked Character Classes
The leak originated from a Dark Souls blog, was translated by Famiboards and posted on the Gaming Leaks And Rumors subreddit by user LorDeus 71. It shows that the game will feature 14 distinct classes, a big jump from Nightreign’s eight‑character roster. All classes are pre‑made, so players will pick from existing characters.
- Blood‑Eater – Walter
- Guillotine – Gillian
- Foul‑Rot – Veronica
- Nail‑Pierced – Sebastian
- Coffin‑Bearer – Maurice
- Thread‑Torn – Oscar
- Mud‑Treader – Ulan
- Candle‑Snuffer – Isabel
- Gut‑Rinner – Randolph
- Gazer‑of‑Flesh – Yuri
- Ash‑Crown – Camilla
- Rust‑Gospel – Baldur
- Dusk‑Silt – Elsa
- First‑Shard – Nameless Shadow
Each character centers on draining blood from enemies or injecting it, with a unique gimmick— for example, Nail‑Pierced damages himself to cast miracles, while Mud‑Treader Ulan is a swamp‑dwelling powerhouse who leaves poisonous puddles wherever she walks, sounding like Hidetaka Miyazaki’s dream woman.
Release Details
The Duskbloods is slated for a 2026 release, will feature online multiplayer for 1‑8 players, and continues the blood‑focused mechanics hinted at in the test.
