[2019] (Switch) The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 Status: In Cert!

The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 has been sent to Cert! Once we have passed we will update this thread with the official launch date/time.

The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 continues to be in the Cert process, so it’s possible Nintendo Switch won’t launch alongside PS4 & Xbox One today. We're coordinating with all parties to see where we can help! We’re sorry about the delay - thank you so much for your patience. We’ll let you know here as soon as we have more info.

Vauban Prime and Ash Prime have launched with their signature Prime Weapons and Accessories! The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 remains in the Cert process while we work with Nintendo. We'll continue to keep you updated as we go along!

Hello Switch Tenno! As of this morning, The Old Blood remains in the Cert process, which means the Update will not release before the weekend. Since the unvaulted Relics won’t appear in-game until the update is live, we want to apologize for the delay with a Relic Pack treat set to arrive in your inbox when the update launches. The 8 time-limited Alerts will also be rescheduled for after the launch of The Old Blood, as they are aimed towards the Melee Phase 2 changes and the rewards require the update. You can expect more info next week when we have it! Thank you again for your patience as we work together with Nintendo to get this update out ASAP!

We're close! The nature of the issue we’re working through with Nintendo is based on SD card life expectancy. We need to make sure that the hardware can handle The Old Blood update since its download size exceeds the Nintendo Switch’s 20 GB base memory. Nintendo will be in touch again tomorrow at the earliest- we'll have a better understanding of when we can expect to launch the update then!

Thank you all for waiting so patiently for The Old Blood. We want to show our appreciation and make up for lost time, so we have some goodies planned! Here's what's coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch once The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 launches:

• Double Affinity Weekend
• 2 Relic Packs (6 Relics total!)
• 7-Day Resource Booster

All of these goodies will be in addition to everything that arrived on other platforms with the update:

• Legendary Core (for Mastery Rank 3+ accounts that aren't brand new)
• 8 Gift of the Lotus Alerts
• Forma Bundle
• 7-Day Affinity Booster (that means 4x Affinity if you pair your Booster with the Double Affinity Weekend!)

Dates for the Alerts and Double Affinity Weekend will be posted in The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 thread once it's live. We'll continue to keep you posted here as soon as we hear from Nintendo!

The Old Blood: Update 26.0.6 will remain in Cert for the rest of the week as Nintendo’s Cert team for this region is away to be with their families for American Thanksgiving. We understand the frustration this delay is causing, so we have two special Alerts planned for Nintendo Switch Tenno this weekend!

Vauban Prime Blueprint & Ash Prime Blueprint will be available in Alerts on Friday, November 29 @ 2:00 PM ET - Monday, December 2 @ 2PM ET

Happy Thanksgiving! We can’t thank you enough for your patience and understanding.
