Bloodborne is finally here...well, almost. The game is less than a day away from launch, and millions of gamers are eagerly awaiting the chance to finally get their hands on it. However, for those who aren't fans of the series - or were pushed away from it - may not know why so many people are excited about a game that supposedly punishes its fans for playing.
That's why we've put together this guide on what exactly Bloodborne is. If you've never played a Souls game, you'll be able to start putting the pieces together; if you weren't a fan of the previous games, you can see just how different Bloodborne really is.
So grab a sword, grab a gun, and get ready to hunt some werewolves: this is everything you need to know about From Software's upcoming action RPG, Bloodborne.
Bloodborne is definitely a Souls game...
Bloodborne could easily be one of the biggest games of the year, and that's saying something: 2015 is looking to be packed with huge releases throughout the entire year. The Souls games have always stood out from the rest, mostly thanks to their absurd difficulty and ruthless combat. That being said, the reason that Bloodborne is so exciting isn't what's stayed the same, it's everything new that the game is bringing to the franchise.
Bloodborne is set for release on March 24.
