Bloodborne takes FromSoftware’s hard-won Souls formula into the gothic city of Yharnam, where a plague of beasts has the streets burning and the church’s healing blood hides something far older. Trade the shield for a trick weapon and a firearm, and stay aggressive: here, hesitation gets you killed.

Released on PlayStation 4 in 2015, it was followed the same year by The Old Hunters, an expansion that drags you into the Hunter’s Nightmare to face the hunters who came before you.
