Kadokawa’s Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026 earnings results have been released, offering new insights into the upcoming Switch 2 titles The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Tarnished Edition. Both games are still expected to launch in 2026, according to multiple slides detailing the fiscal year 2026 forecast (ending March 2027).
Confirmed 2026 Releases for Switch 2 Games
The earnings report highlights several key titles scheduled for 2026, including:
- The Duskbloods – A Switch 2 exclusive developed by FromSoftware.
- Elden Ring Tarnished Edition – A port of the critically acclaimed action RPG to the Switch 2.
- Danganronpa 2 x 2 – A multi-platform release for Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Both The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Tarnished Edition were first mentioned in the Full-year Forecast – Gaming Segment section of the report, where Kadokawa stated it “expects” both games to arrive on the Switch 2 in 2026. However, the company did not provide a definitive confirmation, leaving room for potential delays.
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition: No Specific Release Date Yet
In the FAQs section of the investor report, Kadokawa addressed questions about Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, confirming there is no specific release date. When asked if the game would launch within the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the company responded that no exact timing has been set.
Additionally, Kadokawa noted that Elden Ring is already available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, reinforcing its multi-platform presence.
The Duskbloods: A Switch 2 Exclusive Without a Release Window
Similarly, The Duskbloods appeared in the general Gaming Segment under “eagerly awaited upcoming titles,” alongside Danganronpa 2 x 2. The report included a note stating the game is “releasing worldwide in 2026.”
In the FAQs section, Kadokawa confirmed that Nintendo is a partner on The Duskbloods and that no sales forecast or release date has been disclosed at this time.
What This Means for Fans
While the earnings report reinforces the 2026 timeline for both The Duskbloods and Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, the lack of specific dates means fans should remain cautious. The previous delay of the Elden Ring port from 2025 to 2026 suggests that further adjustments to the schedule are possible.
For now, Kadokawa’s latest financial update provides the strongest indication yet that these highly anticipated titles will arrive on the Switch 2 next year.
