Never played Bloodborne? Well, here’s a good news for you! Sony has just announced that they will release a packaged edition that includes the critically-acclaimed Bloodborne, together with the upcoming expansion pack, “The Old Hunters”. This announcement coincides with Sony’s proud announcement of the game selling over 2 million copies worldwide.
For those not in the know, Bloodborne is a PS4-exclusive title that follows the footsteps of the harsh and cruel game mechanics employed in Dark Souls and Demon Souls. It is set in a Victorian/Gothic city that suffers from a plague that turns people into primal beasts. The story is again as vague as it should be, challenging players to piece together the clues and get more questions in return.
Thankfully, Sony has appended a Q&A sheet for those looking forward to this edition, saving me the horror of revisiting my memories of the game. Check it out below:

Q： How do you access the Bloodborne The Old Hunters expansion?
