It's nice to be talking about Bloodborne again, isn't it? There's always a worry that games that launch earlier in the year get forgotten by the end, but Sony couldn't have timed the title's Old Hunters expansion any better if it wanted the release to win a few awards. And with the add-on now just days away, it's also deployed a gigantic 9.37GB patch to get you in the mood.
The update – as announced earlier in the month – does more than lay the DLC foundations for From Software's brutal but brilliant PlayStation 4 exclusive, however. Indeed, it also includes The League, which is a new component which will allow you to aid others in order to move up an online leaderboard. Furthermore, the patch will contain tweaks to the Chalice Dungeons and online matchmaking.
As for The Old Hunters itself, that will include ten new weapons and three new areas, which you'll be able to access on an existing save once you've purchased the £15.99/$19.99 add-on. Expect there to be tons of secrets and Easter eggs, too, which we hope to explore in full when we bring you our review next week.

Tweaks to chalice dungeons? Working my way through those now, trying to decide if I should chase the Plat. Depth 3 currently and it's not trivial at lvl 91. I could only imagine how depth 5 will be.
@Mega-Gazz shouldn't be too hard at your level, but it took me bloody ages to get the relevant trophies. Sometimes you'll have to go down several floors of a dungeon just to get an item needed to progress in a different dungeon. Nightmare.
This is absolutely my game of the year. Nothing else has compared to the thrilling, horrifying, extremely well paced and plotted experience that BloodBorne brought to the table this year. I truly think its also the best game From Software has ever produced. Cant wait for the dlc, and am looking forward, as always, to reading your review.
@soracloud28 Yeah it's my GOTY too (though still to play Witcher 3, Batman, Fallout 4!)
@Dodoo Those are all fantastic games in their own respect. Loved each of them. Nothing resonated quite as closely with me as BloodBorne did. From the first trailer, to the title screen on my television, i was majorly hyped for this game, and rightfully so i might add. Still need to plug away at Fallout 4, but BloodBorne owns 2015 for me.
@soracloud28 Agreed.
@Batman Me too.
If the patch is 10GB how big will the update be, 20GB? Crazy.
The balance of difficulty to skill upgrade was superb in BB. Just as I get o.p. in an era, a new one opens up with harder enemies and so on and so forth. And the placement of elevators for shortcuts was perfect. I'm stocked for this expansion but I'll pick it up later because for now... Just Cause 3 has my attention. But, my friends let us remember to "fear the old blood"!
the patch includes an amazing new weapon and a new covenant btw.
This patch pretty much visceral attacked my bandwidth, since I wasn't even home when it came live (THANK you, Rest Mode!)
Awesome surprise to come home to, no less!
