There’s virtually by no means any Bloodborne information. Every time the sport does get talked about on-line, it’s both copium or hopium as followers of FromSoftware’s gothic Soulslike chomp on the bit for a remake or remaster of the 2015 motion RPG. Whereas no such factor is within the works so far as we all know, there’s a PS1-style Bloodborne kart-racing sport at present in improvement by an ardent fan, and it was set to be launched on the finish of this month.

Although it originated as an April Idiot’s Day joke in 2021, indie developer Lilith Walther determined that her little fan sport Bloodborne Kart was too good to stay a mere gag. So, in March 2022, she turned the joke right into a actuality, saying that the macabre racing sport was in improvement and would come out “when it’s prepared.” Properly, prepared was virtually right here, as she revealed in November 2023 that not solely would Bloodborne Kart be free when it launched, but additionally that it will launch on January 31. It might have, anyway, if it weren’t for that meddling Sony.
Bloodborne Kart suffers a ‘brief delay’
Walther posted to X/Twitter on January 26 to substantiate that Sony “contacted” her about Bloodborne Kart. She didn’t element the contents of the corporate’s message; nevertheless, she clarified that as a result of the corporate mentioned she “want[ed] to wash the branding off of what was beforehand referred to as Bloodborne Kart,” which she’s complying with, the sport will miss its beforehand deliberate January 31 launch date.
“Like I’ve mentioned in a number of interviews, we have been all anticipating this to occur so we may very well be pleasantly shocked if it didn’t,” Walther mentioned in a follow-up tweet. “It occurred, so we’re shifting gears (ha) to deal with it.
