Summary
Fans of FromSoftware’s beloved action-RPGBloodborneare promising to return to the game from March 24 to April 7 as part of the Return to Yharnam event.Bloodbornewas first released in 2015. It was easy to engage inBloodborne’s co-op and PvP back when the game launched, but nine years later, it’s a bit more difficult for players to enjoy the game’s multiplayer elements.
The unfortunate reality of many FromSoftware games is that their multiplayer components become increasingly inaccessible as time goes on and players migrate to other games. Right now, most FromSoftware fans are likelyplayingElden Ringin anticipationof theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, but it looks likeBloodbornewill soon be getting a significant influx of players.
The community-driven Return to Yharnam 2024 event is scheduled to take place March 24 to April 7. As detailed by prominentBloodbornecommunity member Meph, players are being asked tocreate a newBloodbornecharacterand play through the game all over again. Players are encouraged to “engage in as much co-op along the way as possible” and leave messages near lanterns saying, “you’re in the know, right?” This call to revitalize theBloodbornecommunity should result in the game making a significant comeback in terms of player count, at least relative to its current player count, anyway.
Bloodborne Return to Yharnam 2024 Dates
Return to Yharnam is an annualBloodborneevent that the community runs to encourage people to return to the game and revitalize its online components. Anyone that has yet to jump intoBloodbornemay very well want to consider doing so during this year’sReturn to Yharnam event, as this may be the best way to fully experience the game since it originally launched all the way back in 2015.
OtherBloodbornefans may be holding out on jumping back into the game in case the long-rumored remaster or remake ever materializes. Fans have been waiting for news on aBloodborneremasterfor years, but such a project has yet to materialize. Others have been hoping for Sony to announce aBloodbornesequel, but that has yet to happen either. Still, rumors persist.
FromSoftware is busy makingElden RingDLC right now, but its next major project post-Shadow of the Erdtreehas yet to be announced. More information on FromSoftware’s next project will likely be revealed at some point afterShadow of the Erdtree’s June 21 release date.
