Bloodborne Fans Get New High-End Merchandise, But Still No Sequel
Exclusive Bloodborne Collectibles: A Glimpse into the Hunt for Novelty
The Persistent Call for a Bloodborne Continuation
More than eleven years after its initial launch on PlayStation 4, 'Bloodborne' maintains an exceptionally devoted community of players. These enthusiasts eagerly await either a direct sequel or an updated, remastered version for the PlayStation 5. However, their desires have largely been met with alternative offerings, such as comic books and special edition soundtracks, rather than new interactive game experiences.
Unveiling the Latest Merchandise Collection
In a renewed collaboration, specialty merchandise retailer Super Groopies has once again teamed up with Sony, the publisher behind 'Bloodborne,' to release a new line of themed products. Leading this collection is a strikingly priced umbrella, retailing at $125.99, which has garnered significant attention.
The "Childhood's Beginning" Umbrella: A Pricey Nod to Lore
The standout item, the 'Childhood's Beginning Model Umbrella,' draws its inspiration from a pivotal 'Bloodborne' ending where the player character transforms into a 'Great One' squid infant. This motif is delicately featured on the umbrella's securing strap. Its exterior is adorned with various Caryll Runes, while the inner canopy showcases the ethereal Moon Presence. This unique collectible is, notably, priced at $125.99.
Lady Maria's Elegance: A Themed Necktie and Clip Set
Another prominent item in the collection is the 'Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower Model Necktie and Tie Clip Set,' also priced at $125.99. This set is designed to reflect the distinctive attire of Lady Maria, a memorable and challenging adversary from 'The Old Hunters' expansion, a character whose formidable presence remains vivid in the minds of many players.
Expanding the Hunter's Arsenal: Wallets, Covers, and Sleeves
Further additions to this exclusive line include a 'Hunter Model Card Holder,' intricately embossed with Caryll Runes, for $135.99; a 'Vileblood Register Model Book Cover' at $95.99; and a 'Hunter Model Laptop Sleeve' for $155.99. While the laptop sleeve is intended to evoke the hunter's iconic hat, its appearance is notably similar to a standard black leather sleeve.
Anticipation and Availability: Securing Your Collectibles
These specialized items are projected to be delivered by mid-April 2027. Pre-orders are currently open until October 12th, 11 p.m. EST. Potential buyers, particularly those interested in items like the squid-emblazoned umbrella, are advised to place their orders promptly. Based on past experience, Super Groopies' limited edition merchandise rarely sees a restock, a fact many collectors recall with regret, referencing items such as the 'The Witcher 3' Ciri watch.
