New Bloodborne Details, More to be Shown at PlayStation Experience

The official PlayStation 4 blog is hosting a post with some tantalizing new information and artwork for From Software’s upcoming action-RPG Bloodborne. New monsters, locations and characters are all shown, and there’s even a hint of the existence of an area that might just be procedurally generated:

Another place you’ll travel to in your quest to find the truth in Bloodborne is the Cainhurst castle. Seemingly abandoned and frozen over, the noble family that once lived there disappeared without a trace. Its grand stature is visible from afar even through the thick fog of the lake, but getting there won’t be easy. What happened to the family that ruled this castle for many generations? What secrets, and what dangers, await you there?

Moving away from a fantasy medieval setting into a slightly more modern gothic and fearful setting has allowed the team at FromSoftware to bring a whole new vision to life on PS4, not only in terms of stage design and the kinds of enemies you’ll face, but also the kinds of weapons you’ll have at your disposal to deal with these nightmarish creatures. From shotguns, transforming saw blades, and axes, to nimble twin blades and even a steel sword that becomes the hilt of a massive block hammer, there’s a wide selection to find and choose from.

…

Deep under the city of Yharnam lies an expansive network of multi-leveled ruins, seemingly much older than Yharnam itself and crafted by something other than human hands.

More will apparently be shown at Sony’s PlayStation Experience event this weekend (December 6th and 7th) in Las Vegas, which will also be streamed on Twitch.tv at this link.
