The US PlayStation Blog has published a new blog post concerning Bloodborne, From Software's upcoming PS4-exclusive action-RPG in the mold of Demon's Souls, which offers some interesting details on the title and a first few screenshots. It's worth noting that the post is penned by Japan Studio's Masaaki Yamagiwa, who confirms this is indeed a close collaboration between From Software and Sony's internal development team:
Bloodborne takes place in an ancient, forgotten city called Yharnam, known for an old medical remedy. Over the years, many hopeless and afflicted people have made long pilgrimages to Yharnam in search of help. As the main character, you are one of these travelers. However, you find that Yharnam is also cursed with a horrible endemic illness. You must navigate the perilous streets of this city, fighting off nightmarish creatures, malformed beasts and deranged mobs stricken with this horrific illness. Face your fears as you discover the secrets and mysteries of this dark and horrific world where danger, death and madness lurk around every corner.
In Bloodborne, the combat is based on intense life-threatening battles. One of the ways we are bringing that sense of danger to life is by keeping the deep strategic elements from Demon's Souls, while also transitioning from the passive and block-and-attack style of Demon's Souls to a quicker, more offensive and active combat style with close-range weapons and guns.
