Though FromSoftware may have moved on from it,Bloodborneremains one of the popular game developer’s most ambitious games, even when compared to the significantly newerElden Ring. The PS4 classic’s Victorian and Lovecraftian charm has proven to have a timeless quality all of its own, and players aren’t ready to leave it behind just yet.In fact,Bloodborne’s loyal community of players is now kicking off its annual Return to Yharnam celebrations, and one community member has created a special poster to mark the occasion. There aren’t any real rules in place for the most part, but there are some bits of information that could come in handy for the returning players.RELATED:Bloodborne Demake Speedrun Beats Every Boss in Under 15 MinutesAs many will know,Bloodborneis seven years old today, and not even the relatively recent release ofElden Ringcould stop its fans from taking another trip down memory lane to visit Yharnam yet once more. The special yearly community event that celebratesBloodborneis going to last until April 7, giving Hunters both new and old a chance to experience this particular universe the way it’s meant to be experienced.
There aren’t any major rules that players ought to keep in mind for the duration of Return to Yharnam, though the goal is, as SkeleMann puts it, to create a new character and engage with the community, whether through PvP or cooperative multiplayer. Sincethe supposedBloodborneremaster screenshots were fake, joining in on the event is likely to be the only way forBloodborneto remain relevant for the time being, and Hunters that feel the itch should use this opportunity until April 7.
One particular tradition that has become emblematic of Return to Yharnam is for players to leave notes saying “You’re in the know, right?” by lamps wherever they find them, as well as to rate other messages of this kind. Whilethe PSX-styleBloodbornedemakedoes fit the bill in regard to the atmosphere and gameplay, it still lacks the sort of community spirit that the originalBloodbornefosters even today, especially considering memes such as this one.
The history ofBloodbornePC rumorsis long and storied, but it doesn’t seem particularly likely that there’d be aBloodbornegame in production at this time, since rumors about it ended up being false. With that in mind, there’s no telling if theBloodborneIP will ever be revitalized again, but Return to Yharnam is there to bring it back into the limelight, even if only temporarily.
