Mysterious 'Soulsborne' Game Was Just Tested in London

It has been revealed that a mysterious and unknown 'Soulsborne-like' game was tested in London this week, but what could it have been?

insider-gaming.com

It was just discovered that a recent playtest took place in London – assumedly for PlayStation UK – that involved a game for ‘Soulsborne fans’, but nobody has any clue what that game could have been. In the examples provided on the now-closed listing, games like Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Wo Long, and Dark Souls were all referenced.

This four-day playtest (for which the testers would receive £500 – not a bad rate!) was taking place in Oxford Circus in Central London, and it ran from the 10th to the 13th of October. Now, gamers who have picked up on the news have started wondering exactly what game was being tested.

What Could It Have Been?​

In social circles and forum conversations – such as those found on Resetera – the consensus is that the game that was tested was Rise of Ronin, an upcoming action RPG being developed by Team Ninja that’s expected to release on the PlayStation 5 next year. If it were to be launched in the first few months of 2024, it makes sense that playtests would be taking place around now.

Otherwise, there are suspicions that it could be Bluepoint’s new game that was announced as being in development back in January. In the past, Bluepoint has done some work on Demon’s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, so that shoe fits quite nicely.

It could also be something totally unexpected – like Bloodborne 2. Who knows?

No, its Team Ninja and Playstation Xdevs game

If it is coming out early next year then we must be hearing more about it soon. We havent heard anything about it since September last year. Same with Stellar Blade

Could that mean some of the dead or alive girls will make a cameo in this?

Bloodborne remake pls

Bloodborne doesnt need a remake. A simple remaster would do

Its the same team as Nioh, Wu Long etc

Need? No. Hell a 60fps patch that fixes the frame pacing would be "enough". But a demons souls style remake is what i want.

Demon Souls "remake" was a win for me and stayed pretty true to the OG. I'll go with "remake" and let blue point do it

Demons kinda needed it being the first souls game and being made in 2009. It looks amazing and plays great.
But Id rather have Bluepoint remaking another game that needs it instead of Bloodborne.

TBH Ive put 250+hours into Bloodborne. I want a sequel or prequel instead of Remake lol

I've put like 800 anything BB would make me happy.

 

[historia]

I am sure it is not Rise of The Ronin actually.

I can't guess any further but oh well.

It is a top 10 game for me easily. Love it. A dream would be Bluepoint helping remastering it and helping Miyazaki with a sequel/prequel ( we know time barely means anything in that world lol )

Demons style remake for Bloodborne, better than nothing but not a fan... Demons remake, while technically amazing made lot of questionable artistic choices (music,some bosses looking like world of warcraft rejects, fat official, grunting while casting spells...) It would be a shame if the same happened to Bloodborne.

Besides as was pointed above, maybe there's not a large gap in power to go for a remake. But PS5 could run Bloodborne at dynamic 4k 60 with better texture filtering and uncompressed textures.
