Everything Bloodborne
The Basics
Developed by From Software | Published by Sony| Genre Third-Person Action RPG | Release Date TBA| Platforms PS4
What We Learnt At E3
- Bloodborne is the official name of the PS4 exclusive RPG from Dark/Demon’s Souls developer From Software – the game went under the name Project Beast until it was announced at E3.
- Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki insists Bloodborne is not a sequel to Dark or Demon’s Souls.
- Sony approached From Software in 2012 to create an original game for new hardware.
- Bloodborne takes place in a location named Yharnham.
- Bloodborne will have guns, but Miyazaki and his team worked to ensure the game didn’t turn into a shooter.
- The team are focusing on “exploration of the unknown”.
- Yharnham has been stricken by the Plague, leading to infected citizens.
- The difficulty and challenge of the Souls games will remain in Bloodborne.
- Your weapons will transform – the melee weapon from the trailer is part scythe, part saw. Changing tactically will be essential for fighting the bosses.
- Yharnham is “going to challenge you as the environment changes and enemies move around the level in unexpected ways.”
- Players will have the option to help or leave other hunters.
- Officially the release date is “early 2015” although a page on the online PSN Store states the release date as March 31 2015.
