At this point,Bloodbornefans are so starved that a low-resolution PSN avatar would get the fanbase buzzing. FromSoftware’s gothic horror love letter to Lovecraft was released nearly nine years ago, and we haven’t heard anything regarding it since.
This isn’t to say Sony has entirely forgotten the franchise. Far from it,Bloodborneis still highly referenced within the company’s first-party titles, and it seems the company is now toying with fans of the franchise with their latest easter egg inASTRO’s PLAYROOM!
Is Sony Hinting at a Yet-To-Be-Revealed Bloodborne Project in ASTRO’s PLAYROOM?
Our first adventure with ASTRO was a fun tech demo created to show off the technical capabilities of the PlayStation 5. Each level or ‘world’ is based on some aspect of the PlayStation 5’s build, such as the SSD Speedway and Memory Meadow.
Throughout the experience, players would run into other little robots having a merry time. Many little bots resembled iconic PlayStation characters from their most popular franchises. The expected ones, such as Kratos, Nathan Drake, Aloy, Joel and Ellie, are present, but we also had some more classic references.

One of them was the infamous rodent, Sly Cooper. Fans of the franchise will be happy to know the first game,Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, will be available on the PlayStation Storeon June 11. Another throwback to the cult classic franchise was Bloodborne. Found in the GPU Jungle stage after the first checkpoint, players would come across a bot wearing the classic Hunter’s garb while wielding a Saw Cleaver and Hunter’s Pistol.
The game was released in 2020, so no one was expecting some major new updates to the title, but one fan has found something that could indicate Sony has something planned for Bloodborne.

We see a bot dressed as Lady Maria from theOld Hunters‘ DLC trapped within a glass cage. Freeing her also nets the player the ‘Hunted Down’ trophy. Another user has hinted that this can’t be a coincidence, leading the original poster to agree.
Is Sony hinting at something by trapping one of the most difficult bosses in the game inside a glass cage?Bloodbornefans seem to think so!
Sony’s Teasing of Bloodborne Is Getting Fans Riled Up
This is not the first time Sony has referenced the title as of late. The upcomingASTRO BOTreferences theFromSoftware game by dressing the little bot in a more accurate Hunter’s Garb. With theShadow of the Erdtreerelease drawing closer, FromSoftware fan theories are at an all-time high, andBloodborneis at the top of the list!
Astro Bot Price Likely to Put a Considerable Amount of People Off Buying It
The sequel toASTRO’s PLAYROOMwill feature several references to other Sony first-party titles. Along with the Hunter’s attire, people have spotted references toUncharted, and others are hoping to see characters such as Sackboy fromLittleBigPlanet.
WhileASTRO BOTis awaited by many who enjoyed the first game, the price might be something that drives a lot of fans away. At $60, people will think twice, but the good news is that there will be no microtransactions within the game!
