What’s New in Bloodborne: The Old Hunters

by on Nov 11, 2015

The wait is almost over, but a new nightmare is upon us! The Old Hunters, the first DLC for Bloodborne is scheduled for release on the 24th of November, and it brings us new toys to play with. The new DLC will give players exactly what they asked for: new weapons to play with, more nighmarish creatures and new gorgeous maps to explore.

The League

“The League is band of Hunters who have taken an oath and are bound by a single purpose” – Masaaki Yamagiwa

If you choose to ally with The League, you’ll gain the ability to summon co-op NPCs that will fight along side you in boss battles or whenever you might need them. The League will actually be released as an update for the original Bloodborne game, ahead of the release of The Old Hunters. On top of that you can also join other players and compete in online ranking leaderboards. Players that have mastered the game and earned a Platinum Trophy will get access to a new and exclusive PS4 theme. There’s no other way to gain this them, so start hunting and slashing to get that trophy before the DLC comes out.

New toys to play with

A handful of new weapons will be available, including Simon’s Bowblade, a curved sword that transforms into a bow. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Just wait till you see the new cleaver-like weapon that transforms into a whip, or timed exploseves. Unlike the cane, this cleaver-whip is heavy, slow and hulking.

Remember Ludwig’s Holy Blade? Now you’ll get the chance to find out its story and fight Ludwig himself. Similar to The One Reborn, Ludwig is a gross collection of limbs and faces but unlike The One Reborn, he’s fast and can spew some white goo that drains you health in a matter of seconds.

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters will launch in North America on Nov. 24 at $19.99, and plans to introduce players to “the nightmare of the hunters who once guarded Byrgenwerth’s darkest secrets.” Since the DLC requires the original Bloodborne game, new players can get the game plus the DLC at $49.99.

And since we’re talking Bloodborne prices and gear, wouldn’t you like some awesome Bloodborne t-shirts as well?

I have a t-shirt addiction, a craving for new RTS video games and a dream to become Captain America. I also grow my own beard so I'm kind of a big deal! :P
