Bloodborne Expansion Pack
Release Date: November 24, 2015
The first big expansion to an action RPG that combines elements of fantasy and horror, created by From Software (i.e. the creators of the bestselling Dark Souls franchise). The Old Hunters expansion pack offers a brand new story campaign telling of the legendary hunters who used to guard the secrets of Byrgenwerth.
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is the first DLC for the popular action RPG game Bloodborne for PS4. The game was released in March 2015 and has sold over 2 million copies. The expansion was first announced during Tokyo Game Show in 2015, together with the release date of the Japanese version. Moreover, the first teaser was presented during the aforementioned event. The creator of the game - From Software - is the studio behind the Dark Souls and Armored Core series. The core game is required to play the expansion. The expansion set is included in Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Edition. Besides, it can be bought online as a separate DLC.
The DLC features a brand new adventure which tells the story of hunters who used to watch over the secrets of Byrgenwerth and unveils new facts about the Bloodborne world thanks to NPC players met throughout the adventure.
To start the new adventure, players are required to do the following: defeat the boss in the Cathedral Ward and check the altar in the back of the location to change the game's time of day to night-time. Next, they have to return to Hunter's Dream to collect the Eye of a Blood-Drunk Hunter from a messenger and go to the Oedon Chapel to leave it through the left exit. When the players reach the square, they should go right to trigger a cut-scene and find themselves in Hunter's Nightmare. To move between this place and Hunter's Dream the players have to light the lantern and use the Awaking Headstone.
The expansion pack for PS4 features hordes of enemies including new powerful bosses such as Ludwig, Orphan of Kos, Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower, Living Failures and Laurence. What's more, the expansion pack offers new weapons such as Amygdalan Arm, Beasthunter Saif, Beast Cutter, Bloodletter, Boom Hammer, Church Pick, Holy Moonlight Sword, Kos Parasite, Rakuyo, Simon's Bowblade, Whirligig Saw, Church Cannon, Fist of Gratia, Gatling Gun, Piercing Rifle, Loch Shield, and Blacksky Eye.

Game Ratings for Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Video Game.
Attack of the Fanboy: 4.5 / 5 by William Schwartz
The Old Hunters is for better or worse, more Bloodborne. If you're looking for a reason to return to Yharnam, this is a worthy expansion for the game. It'll give you just about everything you've come to expect from From Software RPGs — new enemies to fight, new weapons and items to uncover, a big new map to explore, and of course, the soul crushing defeats.
Gaming Nexus: 8 / 10 by Jeremy Duff
The Old Hunter's is a great expansion for die hard fans of Bloodborne. It brings a good amount of fresh content to the game without doing anything to alter the formula. It's more of the same, which is a good thing. Just be prepared for the difficulty as it is as unrelenting as ever.
Push Square: 9 / 10 by Sammy Barker
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is much more of the same from what is already an outstanding game. The new environments and boss encounters add hours to the main experience, but it's the deluge of additional equipment that will keep veterans most occupied. If you've been yearning for a reason to return to Yharnam, then this DLC practically demands your Blood Echoes. Just that the life of hunter is defined by death – and you're going to die a lot.
