Bloodborne’s unofficial, wonderfully low-poly kart racing spin-off has got a release date, and it isn’t far off.

If you’ve been out of the loop, where have you been? Bloodborne Kart is an unofficial fan game stitched together by a community of developers over the past six years. You race through the streets of Yharnam and beyond, using heaps of vehicles – the karts and motorcycles will appear familiar to Mario Kart fans, though the wheelchairs? Not so much.

While we doubt the studio has its own kart racer on the way, it looks like the actual Bloodborne developer,FromSoftware, is plenty busy, too. As IGN Japan reports, thestudio is staffing up for “multiple new projects” following the success of Elden Ring and Armored Core 6. Whatever those projects end up being remains to be seen, though a low-poly kart racer likely isn’t one. It’s simply been done.

“The Elden Ring of Metroidvania in terms of map size” is blatantly threatening me with a good time.
