Bloodborne, masterpiece adored by PlayStation gamers, has just celebrated its 7th anniversary. On this occasion, a Mario Kart version was announced. Unlikely.
March 24, 2015 came out BloodbornePlayStation 4 exclusivity developed by FromSoftware (studio to whom we owe Elden Ring). This spiritual son of Dark Souls quickly became a cult production, to the point of being often cited among the best games on Sony’s console. many years later, it continues to haunt people’s minds. Will a Mario Kart version have the same success?
Because, yes, the improbable Bloodborne Kart was announced by Lilith Walther, who rose to prominence recently thanks to an excellent adaptation of Bloodborne in demake format (i.e. with very old graphics, PlayStation era). ” It’s coming, Bloodborne Kart is real and it’ll be released when it’s ready! “, she rejoices.
A Bloodborne in Mario Kart format, really?
For the moment, we will have to content ourselves with a small teaser of a few seconds, with a sequence that directly reminds us of a poster from the movie Akira (another masterpiece, but animation this time). We still wonder how an action-oriented and demanding RPG can turn into a racing game more focused on usability – if it is indeed Mario Kart the main source of inspiration.
You might think it was a prank, except that Lilith Walther has already made the joke with this Bloodborne Kart. On April 1, 2021, she announced: “ Today I am announcing that Bloodborne PSX [le demake] is canceled and we’re doing Bloodborne Kart instead! This April Fool’s Day was accompanied by a small sequence of gameplay thanks to which we quickly recognize the Mario Kart paw.
This very wacky project is a reminder of how Bloodborne is a major video game. As proof, many fans are hoping for a remake – or a simple remastering – for the PlayStation 5 (with, possibly, a PC port). Others simply start dreaming of a sequel – a less and less likely hypothesis as time goes by.
