After months of waiting, Lilith Walther’s demake of From Software’s Bloodborne is finally out in the wild for fans to enjoy. Via itch.io, Bloodborne PSX is free to download, and sees you trudging through the streets of Yharnam, fighting off familiar monsters and foes.
“Wield over 10 unique hunter weapons using the Strategic Action Combat system to vanquish your foes. Dodge incoming attacks with your hunter’s quickstep ability, parry enemies with your quicksilver firearm, and transform your trick weapon to tailor your loadout for any encounter in this new, next-generation 3D experience that blends RPG and Action in a way you’ve been seen before. Only one question remains: Can you survive the night?”
Accompanying the Bloodborne PSX release is the new launch trailer, which once again features those beloved chunky PS1-styled graphics and graphical anomalies. Once again, it’s not the Bloodborne sequel that we’re all waiting for, but it’s a great tribute to what makes Bloodborne so appealing.

Bloodborne PSX won’t fill the aching hole many From Software-loving gamers have from Bloodborne‘s PS4 exclusivity, but, much like the lore-expanding comic series, it does keep the increasing legacy of the game growing further still.
Bloodborne is often thought of as the best game from the Japanese developer. So naturally more people want to play it. That’s why there’s been such clamor for a PC port (instead of the admittedly popular PS Now streaming option)and/or a remaster of the 2015 title (as PS5 doesn’t up the framerate). It’s been the source of many deep dives, theories, and the source of inspiration for plenty of games in the seven years since its release.
