Summary
Bloodbornefans should mark this coming Sunday, March 24 on their calendars, as that’s the day the community is playing to return to the game.Bloodborneremains one of FromSoftware’s biggest hits, but nine years after its launch, many fans have moved on to other games, namely other FromSoftware projects.
SinceBloodbornelaunched in 2015, FromSoftware has releasedSekiro: Shadows Die Twice,Dark Souls 3, andElden Ring, among other non-Soulslike games. With theElden RingDLC out on June 21, it’s safe to say that most fans of the company’s games are playing the open world game. It’s harder than ever before to properly experienceBloodborne’s co-op and PvP elements, but that will change starting March 24.
From March 24 to April 7,Bloodbornefans will be returning to the game for theReturn to Yharnam 2024 event. This event encouragesBloodbornefans to create a new character, play as much co-op as possible, and leave messages that say “you’re in the know, right?” next to lanterns. For anyone that missed out on playingBloodbornewhen it first released in 2015, or anyone that simply wants to relive the game’s glory days, March 24 is going to be the day that they want to boot it up again.
How to Play Bloodborne in 2024
Unfortunately, there still is no word on a potentialBloodbornePC portor remaster, and so the critically-acclaimed game has remained trapped on PlayStation consoles. The good news is thatBloodborneis at least playable on the latest PlayStation devices. Thanks to PS5 backward compatibility,Bloodborneis readily available to play on Sony’s more powerful system. Of course, the game is also available to play on PS4 for those that have yet to upgrade. So as long as one has a PS4 or PS5 handy, the community-driven Return to Yharnam event should be accessible to them.
As for how much it costs to getBloodbornein 2024,the base game costs $19.99, while the Complete Edition bundle that includes the base game andThe Old Huntersexpansioncosts $34.99. Anyone that managed to claimBloodbornefor free when the PS Plus Collection was still a thing will still have access to it that way as well, assuming they still have an active PS Plus subscription.Bloodborneis also part of the PS Plus Extra tier, so that’s another way to experience the game in 2024.
