Bloodborne: PS4 exclusive's customisation and levelling revealed
BLOODBORNE producer Masaaki Yamagiwa has revealed more on the PS4 exclusive's customisation and levelling features.
The dark new action-role playing title from the makers of Dark Souls is released in the UK on March 27, and Sony and developer From Software have released new details and a fresh trailer for fans wanting to know more before launch.
A new video titled: "Cut You Down" shows off some of the bleak landscapes and epic battles facing gamers next week.
Producer Yamagiwa has also shared some new information on how the game's customisation features work, including the character's home base.
Players will be able to level up from the 'Hunter's Dream' location, as well as upgrade weapons and purchase items.
Lanterns spread throughout Yharnam will need to be used to return to the Hunter’s Dream, where useful advice will be available from Gehrman, the old man in the wheelchair.
Yamagiwa revealed: "The main currency in Bloodborne is called Blood Echoes, which you can earn by hunting beasts and more. Use Blood Echoes to purchase items from the shop in the Hunter’s Dream, or even repair and strengthen your weapons.
"In your adventures, you’ll soon come across special items called Blood Gems, which can be attached to weapons in order to increase their attack power and even add special characteristics to your weapons.
"In the Hunter’s Dream, you can also interact with the Memory Altar in order to memorise special Caryll Runes to upgrade your character.
"Some runes may allow you to carry more items in your inventory, or boost the amount of Blood Echoes you receive from each beast you hunt down, allowing you to customise your hunter however you see fit.
"I do have one cool piece of news for those of you who have an official PlayStation headset.
"You will be able to upload a custom Bloodborne audio mode, tuned specifically to bring the unique world of Yharnam to life, to your headset through the PlayStation 4 headset app."
