How FromSoftware Should Make Bloodborne 2
A dive into Yharnam's murky past? New Great Ones in the future? Bloodborne 2 has huge potential!
Bloodborne, the grim and gloomy spiritual successor to Dark Souls, was one of the PlayStation 4’s first major killer apps. With the console’s successor now on the horizon, Bloodborne remains a system exclusive, and few PS4 titles have touched its status since. With all of this in mind, it’s only natural that the title’s legions of fans continue to clamour for a sequel.
Bloodborne 2 rumours and whispers have cropped up many times since the original’s release in March 2015, but nothing concrete has emerged yet.
The Dark Souls series itself seems content with ports, remasters and remakes for the moment (a magnificent-looking remake of Demon’s Souls is in the works), and while Bloodborne’s critical acclaim and sales record certainly warrant a sequel, the idea raises many questions. How would a hypothetic Bloodborne 2 work? How would the events of the sequel shape the story and setting? Let’s dive into these queries and take a look at some possible answers.
