Though FromSoftware may have moved on from it, Bloodborne remains one of the popular game developer's most ambitious games, even when compared to the significantly newer Elden Ring. The PS4 classic's Victorian and Lovecraftian charm has proven to have a timeless quality all of its own, and players aren't ready to leave it behind just yet.In fact, Bloodborne's loyal community of players is now kicking off its annual Return to Yharnam celebrations, and one community member has created a special poster to mark the occasion. There aren't any real rules in place for the most part, but there are some bits of information that could come in handy for the returning players.As many will know, Bloodborne is seven years old today, and not even the relatively recent release of Elden Ring could stop its fans from taking another trip down memory lane to visit Yharnam yet once more. The special yearly community event that celebrates Bloodborne is going to last until April 7, giving Hunters both new and old a chance to experience this particular universe the way it's meant to be experienced.
There aren't any major rules that players ought to keep in mind for the duration of Return to Yharnam, though the goal is, as SkeleMann puts it, to create a new character and engage with the community, whether through PvP or cooperative multiplayer. Since the supposed Bloodborne remaster screenshots were fake, joining in on the event is likely to be the only way for Bloodborne to remain relevant for the time being, and Hunters that feel the itch should use this opportunity until April 7.
One particular tradition that has become emblematic of Return to Yharnam is for players to leave notes saying "You're in the know, right?" by lamps wherever they find them, as well as to rate other messages of this kind. While the PSX-style Bloodborne demake does fit the bill in regard to the atmosphere and gameplay, it still lacks the sort of community spirit that the original Bloodborne fosters even today, especially considering memes such as this one.
The history of Bloodborne PC rumors is long and storied, but it doesn't seem particularly likely that there'd be a Bloodborne game in production at this time, since rumors about it ended up being false. With that in mind, there's no telling if the Bloodborne IP will ever be revitalized again, but Return to Yharnam is there to bring it back into the limelight, even if only temporarily.
Bloodborne is currently available for PlayStation 4.
