A 2-minute The Duskbloods gameplay video leaked on Bilibili on August 20, 2026 — one day before the closed network test. NecroFelipe shared it on X shortly after. The footage covers the Moon Blood Bestowal scenario, multiple character classes in combat, aerial combos, gunplay, and a character turning into a literal dinosaur.
What the The Duskbloods Gameplay Leak Actually Shows
The Moon Blood Bestowal scenario plays out like a final-round elimination. Teams with the most Victory Points fight each other inside an arena to become the Victor of the Dusk. The leaked footage puts three The Duskbloods characters front and center — Walter the Blood Eater, Gillian the Guillotine, and Rust-Gospel Baldur.
Combat looks fast and aggressive, similar to Elden Ring Nightreign. Aerial combos and air juggles appear throughout the clip. Players also call summons during the fight. Walter pulls out a gun at one point — a clear nod to FromSoftware’s Bloodborne.

The most memorable moment in the 2-minute leak is one character transforming into a full dinosaur and throwing another player off the arena. No context is given for how that transformation triggers or which class it belongs to. The clip cuts away before any further details surface — which means players will need to find out during the network test itself.
That one moment drove most of the community reaction after NecroFelipe’s post spread across X. A FromSoftware game where someone turns into a dinosaur mid-PvP fight is not what most people expected from the first gameplay footage.
What the Duskbloods Gameplay Reveals About the Combat System
The Duskbloods gameplay leak shows a PvPvE format — players fight each other while also dealing with PvE enemies in the same space. The footage confirms aerial combos work across multiple character classes, suggesting the combat system is built around vertical movement and juggle-based pressure rather than pure ground-level trading.
Summons appear during the clip as well, adding a third layer to the combat loop. Calling in a summon mid-PvP fight while managing aerial positioning and enemy pressure points to a system with significantly more moving parts than a standard FromSoftware PvE title.

Network Test Details and Preloading
The Duskbloods closed network test starts August 21, 2026. Players selected for the test can preload the game from the Nintendo eShop — the download takes up 3.8 GB. No friend invites are possible during the closed network test, and no solo mode is available for this test either. Both features arrive with the full release later in 2026.
Co-op is confirmed for the full game. The network test is purely a closed multiplayer stress test — FromSoftware wants server data, not a full feature showcase.
Final Thoughts
The Duskbloods gameplay leak dropped one day too early. Moon Blood Bestowal combat, aerial combos, gunplay, summons, and a character turning into a dinosaur — all in two minutes of footage from Bilibili. The network test starts August 21 for selected players. Preloads are live on the Nintendo eShop at 3.8 GB.
