Bloodborne is perhaps one of the biggest benefactors of Sony’s late announcement strategy so far. Ignoring leaks, the release was revealed mere months ago, and is already on the home straight ahead of its launch early next year. The good news for fans of the Souls series is that it’s looking absolutely spectacular, too.
In this six minute gameplay snippet, we’re treated to a good long look at the title’s Victorian architecture. Moreover, there’s plenty for franchise aficionados to analyse, as the Regain System – which allows you to claw back health from enemies shortly after receiving damage – is on full display. The whole affair appears more aggressive than previous entries, but this editor’s not an expert.
There’s also a hint at some kind of co-operative mechanic, as a stranger joins the fray at one point in the video. We must admit, this is looking a little more accessible than its predecessors, but that could just be due to the person playing being well rehearsed. Honestly, we wouldn’t take issue with a slightly easier experience – but we know that many would.

Wow. Looks stunning!
So many wow bits in this vid.. The game will be harder than the demo.
(last par.)

I actually really like the look of this, and I'm not a huge Souls fan by any stretch of the imagination. Love the art style that's in place here.
Don't be mislead....It has already been clarified that the difficulty will be on par with the Souls games....the only difference being that the design in Blood is not there to punish the player.....but the difficulty stands. It is more aggressive.
What this probably means is something like how you'd lose your souls if you die without retrieving them in the souls games....that is punishment and is something that won't be heavily implemented in Blood.
But this video still looks old school as hell. It is going to be incredibly hard.
Cannot wait to play Bloodborne.
That bloodstained cloak though...
in the vid at around 4mins another player appears and helps take down the monsters on the bridge..co-op maybe?
Really hoping that the visuals of the final product will look this good if not better. The final version of Dark Souls II looked bland compared to its E3 2012 trailer.
Praise the moon!
Looks like Sony could possibly have at least 3 GOTY contenders next year.
@teknium_ so I wasn't the only one who noticed that! Co-op would be sweet!
This game looks better to me every time I see it in action. Never played a souls game but I think I'll make this one the first.
@t7lr3 yea!.. quite a brief glimpse..didnt look like an npc tho
looks incredible. Are we going to be able to customize our characters beyond weapon load outs? We keep seeing the same identical character in each video.
The game looks fun but I'm not one for all that gore and depressing atmosphere. If there's an option to tone down the blood I might be persuaded to look into this. That blood is what really turns me off to be honest.
Damn those red pixels, its title should probably be changed to 'lovely pants' instead and any vague realism of haemoglobin wiped out.
Tried the first souls game and just couldn't get into it, but this looks mighty interesting!
