The Bloodborne PS1 demake is now available to play on PC after 13 months in development. 

The fan-made remake’s developer Lilith Walther shared the good news in a tweet that revealed the game is now available to download and thanked those who have been waiting patiently to play it for all their support over the duration of the game's development.

The game is available via Itch.io for free. In the demake, players will travel to the city of Yharnam and encounter a number of recognizable Bloodborne enemies including Huntsman, Hunting Dogs, Skeletal Puppet, and many more. 

Speaking to GamesRadar+ back in January 2021, Lilith said that: "It's a tough balancing act to change designs to feel retro, while also staying true to the PS4 original." However, by just watching the Bloodborne PSX launch trailer, you’ll be able to see how well Lillith and the team managed to pull off a Soulsborne-type game whilst sticking to the aesthetics suitable for the PS1 era. 

If you’re wondering if Lilith will be making any more demakes in the future, the developer told us last year that they had received a lot of requests for a demake of the original Dark Souls, but they aren’t sure if they want to continue making demakes now that Bloodborne PSX has been released. Instead, Lilith is being kept busy with their own original IP indie game WitchJRPG which is also currently in the works.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
