Bloodborne
- FromSoftware games to say the least, have many layers that can overlap into other games at times, even their latest release of the VR game Déraciné gets a nod at Bloodborne. Now we find out that a player has discovered the precise location of the opening cinematic for Bloodborne as well.
- While other games may tease players of fantastical settings that are usually just for show, From has other ideas and lets players reach the place that appears in their opener.
- A Reddit user by name of u/RickHarrison posted that they actually came across the area within the game.
- Within the game you can visit the featured place known as the Cathedral Ward which is not too far from where you meet Arianna. With a little adjustment to your camera angles you can get the very same view that appears in this opening scene of the alley.
- You may notice that there are a couple things that differ when compared to the cinematic, for example there is no eerie baby carriage lying in your path, and the lighting in the scene looks noticeably different.
