Bloodborne producer and director, Masaaki Yamagiwa, announced via the PlayStation Blog that the game has now sold over 1 million copies worldwide. He also revealed that the upcoming patch will improve the games load times, something which fans have been requesting since release. Besides improving the load times, this patch will also resolve “an issue that resulted in abnormal game behavior after many continuous hours of play”.
Many Bloodborne players had noted the issue earlier this month, which they termed as ‘easy mode’ as it made boss fights simpler after extended hours of gameplay. The developers are hoping to release the latest patch by the end of this month and have even uploaded a notice stating the online mode may be down due to the patch. You can check out their notice below:
Masaaki has also gone the extra mile by releasing a few workarounds for players which should help them get a better connection. You can view his suggestions below:
