The trailer is a 90-second extended cut of a recent TV commercial showcasing the game, and it serves to highlight some of the varied enemies – including werewolves, fire-breathing monsters and large humanoid opponents – one will encounter in and around the beleaguered city of Yharnam. The song playing in the background is Hunt You Down by The Hit House feat. Ruby Friedman.

The developers have also detailed some features pertaining to the customisation of the weaponry that players will have access to in the game; hunting beasts nets one Blood Echoes, which can be used as currency in game to buy items at your home base at Hunter’s Dream. At this hub, one can also repair and upgrade weapons using Blood Gems that heighten attack power and add special features to weapons once attached; speaking to the Doll at the hub will allow you to level up your character, and interacting with the Memory Altar lets one learn runes that can have different effects, such as increasing amount of Blood Echoes procured from hunted beasts or allowing more items to be carried in the inventory.

The city of Yharnam and its environs are your grounds for the hunt, as you eliminate its corrupted inhabitants following an endemic that has spread its tendrils throughout the urban centre. As a hunter, one will have to utilise their skills and all tools and weapons at their disposal, to defeat enemies such as the Darkbeast, who is shockingly powerful and has an electrifying presence (ok, am all done with the bad puns now!).

The action-RPG will feature vast ancient multi-level underground ruins called the the Chalice Dungeon, which can be accessed by utilizing a holy chalice, though its structure will change every time you enter it, which should keep playthroughs interesting and diverse.

The dungeon boasts of different environments, ranging from swamps to grand halls to rocky corridors, though one must go online to generate new dungeons; one can download dungeons created by other players and upload those generate by you. The co-op aspect allows for upto three hunters to ally together and face challenges and deadly enemies; successfully defeating a boss nets those how joined the game a bonus reward, while death will send them back yto their own game.

One can also leave hints and messages (which can be helpful or misleading) for other players to discover via Messenger creatures; upon one’s untimely demise, a tombstone will appear that other players can interact with to view their final moments and perhaps realise what triggered the death. An online update, containing optimisation and performance improvements, to the game will be made available on launch day (24 March).
