Explained simply
Bloodborne is a 2015 action role-playing game made by Japanese studio FromSoftware for PlayStation 4. It is set in Yharnam, a decaying city where hunters confront monsters and uncover a story shaped by gothic horror and cosmic dread.
The planned film adapts that game world for cinema. Seán McLoughlin, known online as Jacksepticeye, is producing it; the game itself was created by FromSoftware and published by Sony. The project matters to fans because the original has built a lasting following, and an adaptation must decide how to bring its atmosphere and story to a different medium.
