Did a quick search and It has to be Bloodborne 2 guys.

This is the Caryll Runes writing / symbols in the world of Bloodborne vs the parchment shown in the trailer. The resemblance is quite overwhelming.

🤔

I grow more and more curiouser...

 

[e0n]

Looks like a wrapped kunai near the end...

 

[SaberEdge]

What about the Japanese text on the background? Doesn't seem very BB to me.

Yeah, the Japanese music and writing clearly hint at a feudal Japan setting. I think it's more likely to be something new or maybe the return of Tenchu.

Try google "Japanese calligraphy" or "Chinese calligraphy", they looks basically identical to the scroll in the trailer. It doesn't looks like it belongs to the Bloodborne universe

 

[SaberEdge]

The music and the phrase "Shadows Die Twice" makes me think new Tenchu game.

The last Tenchu game was subtitled "Shadow Assassins".

There was also Tenchu Fatal Shadows and Tenchu Shadow Assault. Rikimaru and Ayame were often referred to as shadows in the Tenchu games. This, along with the Japanese music and writing in the trailer, make a new Tenchu game the most likely possibility. Or it could be a new IP with a similar feudal Japan setting.

Thank you,
As much as I would love Bloodborne 2 it is clearly Japanese like characters

Looks like a rope launcher with a kunai/dart on it.

 

[RiccochetJ]

There was a lot of blood in that short teaser. My goodness I hope it's Bloodborne 2. The first one is one of the best games this gen imo.

Yeah, I was thinking it might actually be the grappling hook launcher used in the Tenchu games.

 

[Paracelsus]

Just the music alone, the classic drum you find in [insert generic japanese temple setting here] I was expecting it to develop into

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1wcuoxs4mU

It would bet for it to be Tenchu.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I hope it's a new IP quite different than the Souls games. I'd still be hyped as hell for BB2 though.

 

[Portugeezer]

Looks like it would belong in bloodborne, bloodborne 2 pls.

 

[Barakov]

Bloodborne 2 seems like the obvious tease. But what if this is a teaser for multiple games?

 

[TroicaBlur]

Obvious. BB2.

 

[SaberEdge]

Obvious. BB2.

Almost nothing about it leads to that conclusion. Seriously, stop with the wishful thinking. We will likely find out soon enough. And I'm nearly certain it won't be BB2.

My bet is on it being a new IP with a feudal Japan setting.

 

[Vindicator]

Salivaborne hype

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

Please BB2.....please be BB2.

PC and XboxOne... confirmed? This is from FromSoftware's official YouTube channel.

Yes stop having those happy dreams. Be miserable and wish for nothing but misfortune. Urgh.

 

[gamerforever]

I hope they stick to ps4 only.

 

[Senua]

I hope they stick to ps4 only.

Lmao.

 

[Shifty]

GAF's hunger for Bloodborne is real.

Try not to mental backflip yourselves into possible disappointment.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Font looks VERY similar to Bloodborne... Is it happening?

 

[Peroroncino]

Playstation VR and XO basically confirms for me that this isn't Bloodborne II but Shadow Tower's sequel or spiritual succesor.

I think you're on to something.

 

[Shin]

I really hope it’s a Bloodborne sequel as well, but until we have confirmation, let’s temper the assurance of our predictions with a bit of caution.

Otherwise we’ll end up with a lot of (potentially) disappointed folks.

Thread title should be changed its not the name of the game but a slogan of sorts I think.

 

[sublimit]

Yup looks like Bloodborne 2. We will probably see more at PSX if that's the case. I'll be curious to see what new elements they have added to the gameplay.

This video is from april 2016. We don't know the deals taking place. The also say it's comming to PSVR...

 

[Jetboxx]

I hope it's not exclusive.

 

[Paasei]

Bloodborne 2 or a new IP? I am hyped either way,very excited to see what it's all about.

 

[jimbulsara]

At least, hopefully, it doesn't involve mechs. The bb, ds game play is yet to be properly emulated. The draught is real. Mechs are a dime a dozen.

 

[the-pi-guy]

Thank you,

Chinese/Japanese characters doesn't mean it's not Bloodborne 2.
Bloodborne DLC has a few mentions of a "Hunter from a distant eastern land" and even includes one.

Apparently the text translates to:

"Blood, Harvest, Smell/Stink, sharp edge tool"


Overall, there's very little we can say for sure. It might not be Bloodborne, but it looks a lot like Bloodborne.

 

[Dargor]

As long as it's a spiritual successor. I don't want it to be tied to PS hardware.

Sony must be really nice if they let From do that twice.

 

[jimbulsara]

Is there any indication, we could learn more at PSX? i know from software 's name was left out of the developers present, but has it happened in the past that such a thing was done to heighten the surprise of a reveal?

I don't see anything close tbh, It looks like Japanese text
Looks like this to me.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I have a feeling what Dark Souls was to Demon's Souls, this game will be to Bloodborne.

Im not sure this makes sense.

 

[xviper]

hang on guys, we will find out if it's Bloodborne 2 or a new project in 14 hours at PSX

i hope it's not a soulsborne game, let the series rest, i don't want to see another souslborne game until 2019 or 2020

i know it's impossible, but i wish if it was Tenchu, i don't even know who has the rights to Tenchu anymore, i just want it back

 

[yet_another_alt]

It's obviously going to be Armored Core. The entire trailer not having anything mecha related is just a ruse.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Im not sure this makes sense.

It does. A bloodborne spiritual sequel that's multiplatform this time around.

 

[Ostrava04]

I'll say that it's a new Tenchu game

 

[Sepultura]

Wouldn’t Sony choose their own platform to announce an exclusive? (Incase this is BB2)

 

[KormaChameleon]

Im not sure this makes sense.

I think he means, Not a direct sequel but a spiritual successor to the previous game.

So Borne Blood is a spiritual successor to Blood Borne... my head hurts from typing this.

 

[SoundofSilence]

i know it's impossible, but i wish if it was Tenchu, i don't even know who has the rights to Tenchu anymore, i just want it back

Far from impossible. From owns the rights to Tenchu. This is clearly a new Tenchu title based on the use of old Japanese text.

 

[Narasaki]

A new Tenchu or Shadow Tower game would be awesome

 

[NattyBo]

I hope it's BB2 and not Tenchu. Kinda got my fill of the Japanese theme this year with Nioh.

 

[xviper]

Far from impossible. From owns the rights to Tenchu. This is clearly a new Tenchu title based on the use of old Japanese text.

i hope you're right, Tenchu holds a very special place in my heart, even the awful Tenchu Z which killed the series, it was still a good game to me

 

[royox]

Please be Bloodborne
Please be Bloodborne
Please be Bloodborne

[Einhandr]

First thought was that thing is the grappling hook from Tenchu. Looks like rope wrapped around inside that bone cylinder thing. I’m thinking Tenchu.

 

[robo_qwop]

What if it is a mech/armored core style game but bio-mechanical kinda like Attack on Titan?

 

[Bloodporne]

Just talked about this with someone else, my speculation-money is on Tenchu. A reboot/sequel/whatever.

1. "Shadows Die Twice." is a direct quote from Tenchu 3 apparently.
2. Musical cue is Japanese Folk inspired
3. Background parchment has Japanese writing
4. The rope within that device within this context can allude to the grappling hook that's a staple mechanic of the series.

None of these obviously occur in a Souls/Bloodborne setting and From has already stated that there are no plans for either series as of a year to 6 months ago. This is certainly not Bloodborne 2, no reason to believe that I think.

From Soft is at top creative force right now and I firmly believe if this is indeed Tenchu, they'll knock it out of the park and finally make that series' premise shine.
