When developer Lilith Walther announced she was cancelling her fan-made PS1-style “demake” of Bloodborne in favor of a “Bloodborne Kart” racing game, everyone thought it was nothing more than an amusing April Fools' joke. And at the time, it was. But in 2022, theBloodborne PSXcreator surprised everyone when she announced that Bloodborne Kart wasactually real,and that it would come “when it’s ready.” Now, a year and a half later, we finally know when this masterpiece is coming out of the oven.
In a new announcement, Walther — follow her@b0tster on X(formerly Twitter), by the way — has confirmed that Bloodborne Kart will make its way to PC via Itch.io on Jan. 31, 2024, complete with 12 racers, 16 maps, a single-player campaign, a VS Battle Mode, and local split-screen multiplayer. Oh, and there’ll be boss fights, too.Incredible.
Accompanying the news is a freshtrailer(you can watch it above) that shows off Bloodborne Kart’s hilarious gameplay, which is, as you’d expect, rife with comical references to FromSoftware’s fan-favorite 2015 title. Walther, along with her fellow developers Corwyn Prichard and Evelyn Lark at “FanSoftware,” have also published awebsitefor the game with additional details and screenshots.
“Bloodborne Kart is an unofficial fan game made by the community,” reads the site’s homepage. “Race through the streets of Yharnam and beyond with a wide array of vehicles, ranging from traditional karts to motorcycles to wheelchairs!”
It’s wild to think that Bloodborne Kart is not only real, but also that it will come with this muchcontent and is only three months away from release. What started as a popular 2017 meme inspired by absurd fake leaks has grown into anactual game, and soon after the turn of the new year, it’ll be in our hands. We hope to see you racing these foul streets with us when the time comes, Good Hunter…
