Bloodborne is currently slated to release at some time in 2015 exclusively on the PlayStation 4 at retail and via digital download on the PlayStation Network.
Development
Bloodborne was first publicly announced during E3 2014 during the Sony press conference; the reveal came in the form of a trailer that showed the games setting, an old city called Yharnam. Despite being publicly announced at E3 2014, the game was actually leaked a number of weeks before the show under the project name, Project Beast.
Initiallu Project Beast was assumed to be set in a more modern setting. The leaked videos showed it to be pretty Gothic with the protagonist wielding a shotgun. The video also showcased fog-gates, undead enemies and the usual dark setting found in the Souls series. Initially believed to be a hoax, the theory was quickly debunked by the Sony presentation at E3 2014.
Gameplay
There is yet to be any information given regarding the combat aspect of Bloodborne, however Playstation.com does give some insight into the gameplay, saying “Journey to a horror-filled gothic city where deranged mobs and nightmarish creatures lurk around every corner.” The site continues to talk about “Strategic Action Combat”, a phrase most often resereved for games like Devil May Cry. The player will be armed with a wide array of weapons ranging from conventional firearms all the way up to Saw Cleavers.
Story
Bloodborne is set in the abandoned, ancient and seemingly dilapidated city of Yharnam. In it’s glory days, Yharnam was best known for housing a mysterious medical remedy that would see travellers from far across the land while seeking the cure that would cure whichever malady ails them.
However, when the player reaches the city of Yharnam it’s soon discovered that the cities populace has been savaged by a terrible curse that has turned the inhabitants almost wholly and outwardly violent. Navigating these streets and combating the foes that hunt your steps, the player must survive.
