After releasing a PS1-style demake of Bloodborne in February, developer Lilith Walther has revealed their next project: Bloodborne Kart. Initially announced as an April Fool's joke last year, the project now appears to be a real undertaking. as Walther Tweeted out this morning "It's happening, Bloodborne Kart is real and will be coming out as soon as it's ready!" and also said they considered making the announcement on April 1st, "but no one would have ever believed that it was real."

While there weren't many details on what the content the game will have, the April Fool's thread from last year shows some demo gameplay with a playable Hunter, Cleric Beast, Werewolf and Troll, so it's possible we'll see those characters returning for the full release. Walther also shared the title screen music, which cleverly combines the kind of music you'd hear in a standard Kart racer with Bloodborne's more somber and ominous mood.

Bloodborne Kart will be coming "as soon as it's ready."

This sounds like it could be fun, the demake was really good imo so i've got a good feeling about this one, wonder if it will have n64 style rubberbanding too?

I wasn't prepared for this just one week before April 1st.

At least it's not called "Bloodborne Kart PSX" like the last time which misled people into believing it could be played on a PS1.

Finally, the Dark Souls of Kart racing.

The said PS1-Demake was nothing but a PC game with low poly 3D. It was never a PS1 game, even that they said so many times. So if it is from the same developer, maybe they will promise a kart racing and deliver a totally different thing, like a train simulator, an auto-clicker or who knows what.

is this a joke?

The moment I saw the previous PSX project I knew these guys were hilarious, well, there it is.

My reaction: finally, something easy.

Finally, the Dark Souls of Kart racing.

That's Twisted Metal.

Well before they made so many sequels they ruined it.

 

[Spider_Man]

They make games that are not demakes, why not become a good ol retro dev.

Just because the graphics are out, doesnt mean the gameplay can't remain.

Shame when it comes to consoles dying out, devs no longer bother with the hardware.

And to think as new gens come out, game prices go up, yet all they do is use updated third party engines these days

Since it had a massive influence from the PSX the naming was alright imo, if anything it showed how most only read the headline and how tiny even some news sites reading comprehension is.

BTT: Never knew I would need a racer in a lovecraftian horror setting

 

[Wolfy]

If the demake of Bloodborne is anything to go by, then I can't friggin wait for this cause my gosh I'm excited.

 

[Tsukiru]

Things are looking up when this is one of the funniest headlines to read

Could have been named "Bloodborne 32bit Edition"

They knew what reaction it was gonna get naming it "PSX"

 

[ZeroFX]
