FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods has been hit by a leak that exposed 14 class names before the game’s first public Closed Network Test. The information surfaced in a data server update reported by Dark Soku, and it points to a test build that may already be giving players an early read on how the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive will play.
That matters now because the CNT is the first public chance for players to see what The Duskbloods actually offers, and class choice will shape every run through the test. For people looking to jump in, 14 options is not a small tease; it is enough to suggest FromSoftware is trying to give the game more variety than a bare-bones showcase.
One of those classes is Gillian, and Andy singled it out with a grin, saying, “As a rather unsophisticated Souls player myself, I love a tanky warrior who deals big damage; Gillian sounds like they’d slice and dice—and who doesn’t fancy the impending threat of their head being cut off?” That kind of reaction is exactly what a class leak is for: it gives players something to argue over before the test even opens.
The leaked material also includes descriptions for each of the 14 class names, which is why the list has drawn attention so quickly. It is not just a count; it is a roster that suggests the CNT will offer enough structure for players to start comparing builds, strengths and roles before the full game arrives. A class set that large also invites comparisons with Elden Ring Nightreign, where selection already helped define the experience around the game’s structure.
Still, the leak leaves one important question hanging. The 14 classes are described as likely to be usable during the CNT, but that is not the same as an official confirmation that every one of them is final or guaranteed for the public test. That gap matters because early server data can hint at what is coming without locking down what players will actually be allowed to pick.
For now, the clearest takeaway is simple: The Duskbloods is heading into its first public Closed Network Test with 14 leaked classes already in circulation, and that should sharpen interest in a game that is still being framed as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. If the list holds, players will walk into the CNT with a surprising amount of advance knowledge; if it changes, the leak will still have done its job by setting expectations before the test begins.
