Development of Bloodborne Kart
Initially perceived as an April Fool’s joke, Bloodborne Kart has transcended its humorous beginnings to become a fully-realized kart racing game. The concept, which began as a playful nod to the PlayStation classic, has evolved into a serious gaming project with a dedicated following eagerly anticipating its release.
Game Features and Developer’s Background
The ambitious project Bloodborne Kart boasts an impressive array of features for a fan-made game. Players can look forward to choosing from 12 different racers and navigating through 16 unique maps. The game is designed to offer a variety of experiences, including a full singleplayer campaign mode, split-screen local multiplayer, a competitive versus battle mode, and an innovative twist with the inclusion of boss fights.
The creative force behind this game is none other than developer Lilith Walther, known for her previous work on the acclaimed BloodbornePSX demake. Her expertise and passion for the Bloodborne series have set high expectations for this new kart racing adventure.
Sony’s Request and Developer’s Response
Sony has reached out to the developers of Bloodborne Kart with a request to remove the Bloodborne branding from the game. This has necessitated a slight delay in the release as the team works to comply with the request and rebrand the game.
HELP. IT HAPPENED Sony contacted me 😳 Long story short I need to scrub the branding off of what was previously known as Bloodborne Kart, which we will do. But that requires a short delay. Don’t worry, the game is still coming out! It’ll just look slightly different
