"…with its fresh emphasis on a new type of combat – and with the addition of just a little speed – the entire name of the game has changed for me. Bloodborne is, in the limited roster of games I’ve seen at E3 so far, my favorite title of the show. And I can’t wait to see more." -IGN, Colin Moriarty

"Following two shockingly successful and unthinkably brutal action games out of legendary development studio From Software, the team behind Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls is back, and its new game Bloodborne received about as much attention as any other new property on the show floor." – BGR, Jacob Siegal

"Bloodborne may have many of the systems that make the Souls games amazing experiences underneath the hood, but on the surface there's a slick coat of blood that makes this PS4 exclusive look like a tantalizing treat when it arrives next year." - Game Informer, Daniel Track

Introducing Bloodborne, the latest Action RPG from renowned Japanese developer FromSoftware, makers of the hit Dark Souls series, coming exclusively to the PlayStation®4 system. Face your fears as you search for answers in the ancient city of Yharnam, now cursed with a strange endemic illness spreading through the streets like wildfire. Danger, death and madness lurk around every corner of this dark and horrific world, and you must discover its darkest secrets in order to survive.

A Terrifying New World: Journey to a horror-filled gothic city where deranged mobs and nightmarish creatures lurk around every corner.

Strategic Action Combat: Armed with a unique arsenal of weaponry, including guns and saw cleavers, you\'ll need wits, strategy and reflexes to take down the agile and intelligent enemies that guard the city\'s dark secrets.

A New Generation of Action RPG: Stunningly detailed gothic environments, atmospheric lighting, and advanced new online experiences showcase the power and prowess of the PlayStation(R)4 system.

Ever-changing Chalice Dungeons to Explore: Use holy chalices to gain entrance to a network of vast underground ruins, filled with traps, beasts, and rewards, to explore and conquer alone or with others. These procedurally generated dungeons offer brand new challenges to master, and can be uploaded or shared with friends. 

Get a peek into some of the terrifying creatures you\'ll see during your time with Bloodborne.

In Yharnam, the best defense is a solid, strategic offense.

When youtake damage from enemies, counter-attack the enemy within a certain period of time to regain some of your lost HP. The damage taken initially turns orange, indicating you can earn it back if you are quick enough. Hesitate too long and you’ll lose that health for good.

With a stroonger focus on offense and pro-active combat, battles become more pitched, thrilling and rewarding.

Bloodborne encourages characters to say on the offensive, using an equipped firearm as a staggering tool. By unloading a shot right before the enemy\'s attack lands, the tables are instantly turned, leaving them staggered and open to a devastating Visceral Attack.

Bloodborne\'s vast variety of intricately-detailed transforming melee weapons, supported by a selection of close- and medium-range firearms, gives players a wide range of choices for range, speed and brute force attacks. 

These small creatures have crept out of a nightmare, and while they may not look too friendly, they accompany hunters, follow their orders, and take care of messages left for others.

Some of the dangers lurking within Yharnam are better faced with another Hunter or two by your side, but even then, victory is not guaranteed.

Procedurally-generated to create a new, harrowing experience every time you enter, Chalice Dungeons offer a chance to experience Bloodborne\'s sense of exploration, danger and reward in all new ways. Play alone or with other Hunters, and share your creations with friends or the world.
