Bloodborne: Things You Need to Know, Leaked Video, New Details and Release Date [VIDEO]

Bloodborne will be adding "fresh sense to the online space," said Hidetaka Miyazaki, game director.

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.
