Sony has detailed Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, the first expansion for From Software's acclaimed PS4-exclusive.

　　The Old Hunters tells the story of the "legendary hunters" referenced in the main game and is set in a "nightmare world where hunters from the past are trapped forever."

　　Players will explore new stages, find "multiple" new outfits, new weapons, and magic. In the gameplay video shown during Sony's TGS 2015 press conference (watch it below) Hunters were going up against familiar bosses such as Darkbeast Paarl and Vicar Amelia, but they were using new weapons such as Simon’s Bowblade.

　　In other scenes new abilities such as a scream that pushed enemies back were also shown. Ludwig, a prominent character in the game's lore, has been confirmed as one of the expansion's new bosses.

　　"With new story details, learn the tale of hunters who once made Yharnam their hunting grounds, meet new NPCs, and discover another side of the history and world of Bloodborne," Sony said, teasing the expansion's story.
