Developers From Software and SCE Japan Studio have given out new details about their upcoming action RPG video game, Bloodborne. A leaked gameplay video has also surfaced.
The game is set in the ancient and fictional city of Yharnham which has been cursed with a spell of an endemic illness. As the illness spreads, the Yharnham streets transform into a dangerous darkness as its inhabitants are affected by madness and death. The players will have to discover the secret of this to survive in the game.
There has been a leak in the Bloodborne's gameplay trailer. This trailer seems to be older, when the game was running on a working title, 'Project Beast.' But this video offers interested viewers an overlook at the action in the game. Check out the trailers here.
