Fan Mods Instead Of A Sequel – Bloodborne: The New Nightmare

by

Bloodborne, created by FromSoftware, remains a standout masterpiece in their collection. The game seamlessly blended Lovecraftian horror with the Dark Souls formula, while introducing a quicker, more combative playstyle. Ten years later, the city of Yharnam continues to captivate players, despite many knowing every nook and cranny. They eagerly anticipate new content, and that’s where mods come in, offering fresh experiences within the familiar world.

As a gamer, I find Bloodborne modding intriguing for several reasons. First off, the ease of access is a standout feature; you can download and play these mods exclusively on a modified PlayStation 4 or on an emulated version of the game on a PC. Secondly, the community’s approach to modding is commendable. Instead of transforming the game into something unrecognizable, they focus on improving the existing experience, not creating a whole new world.

Bloodborne: The New Nightmare

This modification is designed to deliver exactly what fans are hoping for, offering just enough novelty to keep things fresh without becoming overly complex. For instance, it boosts the number of adversaries and incorporates a multitude of NPC hunters – some friendly, others hostile. Moreover, it alters several aspects of the game mechanics, such as allowing players early access to late-game weapons and loot.

Because the purpose of this mod is to increase difficulty, it’s likely that players will require powerful weapons right from the start. Although the content in Bloodborne: The New Nightmare might appear limited, it does include enough alterations to provide players with a distinct gaming experience. Hopefully, these changes will serve as a bridge, offering something new while we anticipate the sequel or at least a PC version.

Sony Needs To Wake Up

Hidetaka Miyazaki, who directs FromSoftware, has expressed his desire to revisit Bloodborne in the past, but he doesn’t have control over that decision. It appears that Sony might be preventing any new Bloodborne content, as they own the intellectual property and therefore have the final say. This year marked Bloodborne’s 10th anniversary, yet there seems to be a lack of news about it despite high fan demand. I can’t help but wonder why Sony isn’t giving more attention to this popular IP.
