Fan-made Bloodborne Kart has locked in a release date for January 2024

Just in time for Halloween, the creators of Bloodborne Kart have announced a January 2024 release date for the meme-made-actual game.

Bloodborne Kart launches next year on PC, and it comes fully stocked. Developer Lilith Walther, who goes by b0tster on Twitter, and the team at Fan Software pulled out the, erm, stops on this one. The game will feature 12 racers to choose from and 16 maps on which to race. It comes with a story mode for solo play, as well as a Battle mode and split-screen multiplayer. And since this is, naturally, based on a From Software game, it includes boss battles. How the latter all works isn’t all the much of a mystery. As showcased before, the boss battles are one-on-one arena showdowns with deadly weapons.

Bloodborne Kart is a joke game no more

The developer also released a new trailer, as seen above. It offers a glimpse of some of the marketable features, such as the playable characters. Want to know who will win in a race between Maria and Baby Mergo? Well, Bloodborne Kart will provide you with the answer to that fan fiction born of a fever dream. My money is on Mergo, though. You see the child whip out that pistol during the trailer? This kid isn’t playing. The game’s creators certainly do appear to be having a good time. I have nothing but respect for that unabashed homage to Akira.

Since it’s a fan-made game, you should expect it to go easy on your wallet. The developer also released a Bloodborne demake called Bloodborne PSX and uploaded it for free on ichio. For more information on the game plus images, be sure to give the game’s site a look.
