Check Out This Unused ‘Bloodborne’ Content!
While we wait for the announcement of Bloodborne 2 (because come on, you know it’s going to happen), a YouTuber has found some interesting goodies buried in the original game’s files.
The YouTuber known as Sanadsk, who specializes in uncovering hidden/unused content in the Dark Souls series, recently found some unused monsters for Bloodborne, as well as an NPC. As detailed in the video below, Sanadsk contacted a user that had managed to obtain the files extracted from the game itself, and Sanadsk was eventually able to put together a reel of these models using Marmoset Toolbag 3. According to Sanadsk, the player most likely would’ve encountered the scholar NPC in Byrgenwerth.
Since I’m a sucker for stuff like this, if you’re ever interested in other games that have cut/unused content buried within them, you can check out The Cutting Room Floor. They’re a wiki that specializes in cataloguing games both past and present that have bits and pieces left in them from developers (including Bloodborne).
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
