Information about the character classes in The Duskbloods has reportedly leaked online ahead of the game's upcoming Closed Network Test, giving fans an early look at the 14 playable characters expected to appear in the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.

The Closed Network Test is scheduled to take place from August 21 through August 23, with registration already closed. Players who were selected are expected to gain their first hands on experience with the game during the test, while FromSoftware could potentially reveal additional information about the game afterward.

The Duskbloods remains scheduled for release sometime in 2026, although an exact launch date has not yet been announced.

According to the reported leak, each character is built around a distinct class and a disturbing relationship with blood. The roster appears to combine elements of Soulslike combat with character focused abilities, creating a lineup that is filled with unsettling designs and supernatural powers.

Walter, known as the Blood Eater, is described as the final survivor of a clan that hunted individuals with rare blood. His heightened sense of smell has reportedly been used to identify hidden weaknesses in his enemies, although the ability has pushed him toward madness.

Gillian, known as the Guillotine, is portrayed as a mutated executioner carrying an enormous blade while searching for the Blood of the Beginning.

Veronica is described as a blind nun who inflicts wounds upon herself to produce blood blisters. The resulting blood can reportedly leave footprints that cause anything they touch to rapidly decay.

Sebastian is a fanatic saint covered in silver nails who uses his own blood to produce temporary bursts of tremendous strength. His transformation has reportedly left very little of his original body or mind intact.

Maurice carries the remains of his family inside an iron coffin and feeds them blood taken from his enemies. Oscar is described as a disturbed taxidermist who attaches stolen flesh to his body until an ancient beast begins to emerge.

Ulan reportedly creates a poisonous blood swamp wherever she travels, continuing FromSoftware's long running fascination with dangerous poison filled environments.

Isabel uses living shadows to trap enemies and drain their blood, while Randolph combines a massive spear with a mechanical body and a flying apparatus to attack opponents.

Yuri is said to possess the ability to raise an enemy's blood pressure simply by staring at them. Camilla turns blood mixed with the ashes of her destroyed clan into a weapon, while Baldur uses bloody prayers as attacks after filling his mouth with pieces of metal and needles.

Elsa can reportedly transform into poisonous blood mud, allowing her to evade attacks while infecting enemies from within.

The final character is known as the Nameless Shadow. The mysterious figure is described as an incomplete mass of flesh capable of copying techniques associated with different bloodlines.

The reported character descriptions suggest that The Duskbloods will feature one of FromSoftware's strangest rosters yet, with nearly every character built around a grotesque interpretation of blood and transformation.

However, the leaked information has not been officially confirmed by FromSoftware. More details about the characters, their abilities, and how the classes function could emerge once the Closed Network Test begins on August 21.
