Sep. 15, 2015Bloodborne Expansion Details Revealed
“Curse the fiends, their children too…and their children forever true…I call to the bloodless wherever they be…”
Experience the nightmare of the hunters who once guardedByrgenwerth’sdarkest secrets (could it be that trap door that doesn’t open???). The expansion will be set in a nightmare world where hunters from the past are trapped forever.
Featured in the expansion will be a new area, new enemies, new NPCs, several newBosses, newWeaponsand newAttireand newHunter Tools, including the Weapon:Simon’s Bowbladeand the Boss:Ludwig.
Now for an interesting bit of lore from the Japanese Website:
Hunters, drunk in the blood have lost their dream
An endless hunt and the secrets it hides.

Great! I want more more trick weapons, more beasts, and more blllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
This is all it matters, in the same year they are even re-releasing the game in a physical format. They are betting hard for BB.
This is good for a future BB2.
First, I can’t wait for it!
Second, I hope that they do more with Byrgenwirth as it was sorta a bust in the game. I mean we get all this lore about it, finally get there after the multi-path Forbidden Woods and it done in less time than it takes for someone to decide the color of their character’s hair.
Upper Cathedral Ward was the same way, all this lore about it but once you are there it is DONE quick.
Those 2 gripes aside, I CAN.NOT.WAIT… might need to make a beast build just for the enhanced beast options!

I read a news article about this, and they mentioned that Sony said Bloodborne sales topped 2 million.
Did anyone else notice the lack of Kin type enemies from the video? I for one would be glad if the DLC would focus on Beasts. Also is that the early version of the Executioner’s Helmet @ 1:32 ?
For the weapons, it seems we ggeeet:
1-a saw blade hammer/polearm
2- a saw/scythe blade
3- a blade bow(who didn’t see this coming? I was actually designing one myself for the game)
4- FLAME HAMMER(Kirkhammer has some competition)
5- a cleaver/cane whip hybrid
6- a new sword(looks like the gold Tracer) and shield combo
7- a pickaxe polearm
8- AND A BEAST MODE!!! at least more than before
Does anyone think that NG+ is offering changed weapons and bosses, because they showed the cleric beast on fire, Vicar Amelia, Mergo’s wet nurse, and Gascoigne turning into the super (ugly) beast. I think that was still Gascoinge, not Ludwig, because the area looks the same (the stair location and gates to the Orden chapel) but destroyed, and that is was showed just after the Gascoigne fight.
Also, the beast claw and its advanced beast mode. You start growing hair on your back and legs, and becoming more beast as shown by the beast scream and the pounce attack. Maybe it’s not not the claw, but the fact that they finally put a max out effect for the beasthood stat
This trailer has everything I wanted
1). a bunch of new weapons
2). A bunch of new bosses
3). What appears to be an extension of the beast mode for the claw
4). old bosses remade
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope some of the new weapons are available at or near the start of the main game. I have at least 6 different BL 100 builds, but I would love to use some of the new weapons on an complete NG playthrough and spec out my character specifically for them. Of course, Bygenwerth is not that far into the game, so it won’t be too much of a trek to get them…..unless of course you need some special end-game item to access it.Man are they releasing it at the perfect time for me since I just bought SOTFS a few days ago!!!
A decent ARC projectile type spell. Finally.
Tooting my own horn aside, it really is just kick *** to see an idea you thought would be really cool actually in the game. Sure the crossbow shield kinda sucks, but maybe the saw will be awesome
I’m generally of the belief that truly new ideas are exceedingly rare so coincidences like this are just neat occasions where I get to act like a jerk claiming they stole my idea.
I think you should be happy that the devs come up concomitantly with the same ideas as you…
Perfect timing! I was totally fed up with DkS2 pvp. Time to go back to yharnam!
Looks like Everyone who wished for Ludwig gets their wish. Knowing that it is entered through Byrgenwerth, I wonder if it will exit by the mystery Cathedral ward door. Looks like I’ll be starting a new char just for the dlc.
First they put my bow/shield hybrid into Dark Souls II, now they’re putting my circular saw on a stick idea and jamming it into Bloodborne. Should I be flattered or worried that I’m being stalked?
I’m quite interested in seeing what they’re changing/improving. Just glancing through it I can see some additions to the Beast Claws/Mode and the Burial Blade (or is that the Scythe-Saw Blade?).
In terms of the story, my initial thought is that it’s going back into the past like Artorias of the Abyss. Where we explore an area we technically went through before (Darkroot/Royal Garden) which ends with a brand new area or two to explore (Oolacile/Abyss).
I think we’ll be traversing Yharnam during a time when the beast hunting was at its highest and end up at Byrgenwerth and exploring the labyrinth where the Eldritch Truth was originally discovered by the scholars, where we’d inevitably fight Ludwig and the other Old Hunters.
That’s Simon’s Bowblade. Looks very interesting, to say the least
^^there was a bow and arrow weapon also in the trailer..wonder how that will be used..
What’s the weapon the Hunter has in his arms on the promotional image with him sitting on the chair in the clocktower? I thought it was a Reiterpallasch at first but the handle is different and the sword isn’t straight. Looks like a Sabre.
For reference:
I counted about 7 new weapons in the trailer:Wheel SawBurning HammerScythe-Saw BladeSimon’s BowbladeSegmented SwordCurved Sword(and Shield?)Giant Spiked Hammer
That alone is almost half of what the main game already has. Could this be the most packed DLC From has produced?
It seems really cool especially that scene with the beast claw and I wonder how can the lore describe the appearance of a bow.
But the question remains will it be enough?I mean yes many people will start playing bloodborne again but for how long?A couple of weapons and a new area (only one from what I saw) is not enough to keep the game alive for too long, people will get used to the weapons and they will get bored again, online matchmaking is still bad and pvp is even worse as not only you have to connect to somebody, you still need them to have a stupid bell maiden
Only 1 new area? dlc never change mechanics of the game, right?
I’m very excited!!!!!!
