Nostalgia-driven demakes have gained popularity in recent years, and a fan similarly released a PSX-style version of Bloodborne, which launched earlier this year for PC via itch.io. The Bloodborne demake comes with support for gamepads, and it reportedly took around 13 months of development. The same developer is now teasing a new spin-off based on Bloodborne in an entirely different genre.

Lilith Walther, the creator of the Bloodborne demake, uploaded a new video on her YouTube channel teasing Bloodborne Kart. The video opens with the default playable character from the game walking towards what seems like a castle. It then reveals a motorbike, and the words Bloodborne Kart appear on top of a checkered flag. The video mentions that the game will release whenever it’s ready and then shows a clip of the Bloodborne hunter revving the motorcycle.
The hilarious video feels like a love letter to fans, with a special mention to how the overly energetic narrator shouts the game’s name and how the FromSoftware logo is replaced by Fan Software. Lilith Walther had also released a gameplay trailer from a supposed Bloodborne kart racing game as an April fool’s joke last year.
Fans have been jokingly asking Sony to release a kart racing game set in the Bloodborne universe, knowing that it would probably never happen. Sony has not even released a sequel to Bloodborne, but FromSoftware has been busy with other projects, and the developer may no longer be interested in making exclusive games. Judging by Elden Ring’s success on all platforms, Sony may need to release a possible Bloodborne sequel on PC if they want From Software to be involved. As Sony owns the Bloodborne IP, nothing is stopping the company from partnering up with a different developer for a new game in the franchise.
As of today, Bloodborne is only available on PS4. The frame rate and inconsistent frame-pacing were among the top complaints from the PS4 version, and so fans have been asking for a remaster or a simple port for years now. There have been reports of Bloodborne coming to PC and PS5, although no announcement has been made.
