Why do Gaffers ask questions like this as if we know?
I might be off (viewing on a rubbish monitor at work), but that beast looks like it has a similar head shape to the skull that's found on the
altar in the Grand Cathedral

And this is what happens when I rejoin a thread between meetings without catching up. Thanks for pointing out.

Any word about release date of the physical edition in EU?.
I've read that the DLC will be launched the same day, but I've read nothing about the physical version

Yea.... Isn't Laurence the bloodletting beast?

That seems to be the current thought yes.
I can only imagine their "I've made a huge mistake" face when the first beast appeared (Laurence, I assume?).
It really, really, doesn't. All it confirms is that there is a Hunter Chief, and the current Hunter Chief became the Cleric Beast. It doesn't even drop the Radiant Sword Hunter Badge, and even if it did, it still wouldn't be enough evidence. This theory never made any sense to me. I mean, it's possible that Ludwig was still around and was still the Hunter Chief, I guess, since we don't know exactly how many years it has been since the Healing Church was created, but there's absolutely no evidence of that, it's pure speculation.
The Radiant Sword Hunter Badge even states:
"The radiant sword indicates the heirs to the will of Ludwig.
These hunters, also known as Holy Blades, are what remains of an ancient line of heroes that date back to a very early age of honour and chivalry."
Again, we don't know for sure how long it has been, but this makes it seem like it's been quite some time since Ludwig's time. He wouldn't need heirs to his will if he was still around as the hunter chief, they'd be more like students.
Ludwig is much more likely to be the owner of the Old Hunter Bone than the Cleric Beast, even if it's still baseless speculation. Because being the first healing church hunter makes it likely that he was an apprentice of the first hunter, who was a friend of the person who created the healing church.

Most likely - I can't imagine they'll be re-releasing the game with the DLC bundled if there's yet more DLC to follow.
I e-mailed SCEE and this edition is not confirmed for EU yet, only the DLC on PSN is confirmed and announced, of course the physical edition will be announced sooner than later, just hope the cover art + content is the same as the one Japan is getting.
I keep forgetting Demon Souls 1.3 million as of this year so that number is decent I suppose.

Looks awesome, the new weapons and bosses look great.

I will be getting this for sure. I've been waiting, anxiously, for some more to this game.
Depending on how this scales with level and how you access it, this will be mine. My character is about a third of the way through NG++, I don't want to make a new character but also don't want to be over powered. And I hope you can access the DLC at any time, don't make me get to a certain part of the story.

Thanks.
I supose is matter of time and as soon it would be confirmed and available for preorder, I would make it.
Silly goose, that will never ever happen. Would be extremely dumb, too.
I have two of them.

From should put the door to the DLC right in the middle of Nightmare Mensis. You cannot be wearing any armor when entering the level and turn all the rock throwing dudes into those singing frenzy things. Allow for 3 people to invade at the same time. Would be a great trial by fire to be able to get to the door.
Would make From the top spot of the developer trolling leaderboards.

It will easily push to four, IMO. As one of the first major PS4 exclusives, it will have long, long legs on what should be a very long console generation.
i use Chikage for my bloodtinge build and its AMAZING but if your not speced for it its pretty much useless, i could see the adding a skill based katana
The salt would cause a hypertension epidemic.

Does anyone know if this is actually true

Specifically about how you get it.

Well no one has the dlc yet so I can't see how that's true.
Probably just placeholder info, but it would be amazing. If we have to choose one weapon of all the ones they showed so far to be a starting weapon, this should be the one, as it's definitely the one that changes your playstyle the most, so it would be amazing for challenge runs.

I'm just wondering why it's there in the first place,
being able to get it on the very beginning,
It's possible they might introduce at least a couple more weapons at the beginning, to encourage replayability. I'm guessing the pizza cutter is a str weapon, so I might begin a new playthrough, as my current str character is on NG+++. I also hope they give us another Blood Rock.
NEVER believe Fextralife bullshits. There are far better alternatives if you're looking for a wiki.
They tend to make up things out of nowhere.
Really? For Bloodborne? I don't think there's any wiki as complete as fextralife for this specific game.

Since some have wondered if Sony are happy with the sales

Everything is better than baseless speculations and blatantly false infos.
The wikidot one has weapons stats, locations, NPC infos etc. without any kind of bullshit.
First I'm hearing of this, sounds like its made up out of nowhere.
Most likely placeholder info. I wouldn't think much of it.
That looks like a generic page template that hasn't been edited because nobody knows anything yet.
It's true that some times people let their speculation get the better of them, especially early in the game's life, but now it's pretty good, I'd say. Even if it wasn't, I'll take bullshit over not even having dialogue for key NPCs.
I really like wikidot for the Dark Souls games, it's the only one I even bother consulting, but for Bloodborne, their pages are pretty bad.

iirc Dark Souls sold 2.8-3 Mio on 3 Plattforms (after 18 months)
Impressive sales and maybe Bloodborne will have a bigger priority than the souls games, if these numbers go on (in the future)

Is the physical version with the base game + the DLC coming to North America?
I'm purchasing a PS4 in a couple months and this is probably the first game I'm going to buy.

Yeah, I really want to know this as well.
I want to buy the physical version of Bloodborne + The Old Hunters. That box art cannot go to waste.
