The creator of the sport previously generally known as Bloodborne Kart has introduced she plans to delay the sport’s launch and “scrub the branding off” after being contacted by Sony in regards to the kart racer’s use of, properly, Bloodborne.
WHELP. IT HAPPENED
Sony contacted me ?
Long story brief I want to wash the branding off of what was beforehand generally known as Bloodborne Kart, which we are going to do. But that requires a brief delay.
Don’t fear, the sport remains to be popping out! It’ll simply look barely completely different ?

Today, Lilith Walker, or PSX Bunlith (@b0tster) on X/Twitter posted a thread explaining that Sony had reached out, with the tip consequence being that she wanted to replace the in-progress kart racer to eliminate something that was too near copyright infringement.
Walker appears to be taking the change in stride. Her thread continued, saying that “we had been all anticipating this to occur so we might be pleasantly stunned if it did not,” and that she’d need to push the discharge date consequently, however that she was excited in regards to the transition from a fan sport to an authentic sport that the crew would have “full artistic management over.”
Composer Evelyn Lark chimed in as properly, expressing pleasure to get to work on “an authentic (albeit acquainted) soundtrack”.
It’s robust information, however we’re all actually excited to regulate this right into a undertaking we have now extra direct management over. Plus, this opens up the chance for an authentic (albeit acquainted) soundtrack! https://t.co/1AY6PO7ryb

Bloodborne Kart, or I suppose simply ‘Kart’ now that it could’t be about Bloodborne anymore, was initially deliberate for a launch on January 31, 2024. Originally revealed again in 2022, Bloodborne Kart was initially a fan group meme taken to its logical confusion: a PS1-style kart racer with characters, karts, and environments immediately derived from Bloodborne. It is predicted to incorporate 12 racers, 16 maps, boss fights, a marketing campaign, a battle mode, and split-screen multiplayer.
No phrase but on once we’ll have the ability to play Not-Bloodborne Kart, however you may at present play Bloodborne PSX, which is a PS1-style Bloodborne de-make from the identical crew engaged on Not-Bloodborne Kart.
