8 Video Games With Playable Cut Content

2. Bloodborne

Bloodborne takes a leaf out of Miyazaki's beloved fantasy Dark Souls series in more ways than one, but it presents more than just a few of its own original ideas. One of those is Chalice Dungeons. Bite-sized, randomized crypts populated by horrors so fierce that even Yharnam's surface dwellers would be petrified by.

Besides their purpose as a neat extra to promote replayability, it seems that Miyazaki and his team used their depths as a testing ground for work-in-progress content.

Late last year, dedicated player Zullie The Witch released a handful of glyphs - codes used to enter pre-generated Chalice Dungeons - that, when punched in, transport the player's Hunter to several clearly unfinished dungeons - home to two eldritch horrors that the human eye had never set eyes upon before.

Just beware, for your own sake, that if you do decide to tackle these prototype nasties, it might be a good idea to back up your save - there's plenty of bugs living down there, too.
