Bloodborne alpha returns this weekend for one postponed hurrah
Players of Bloodborne's alpha have one more chance to check out the build this Sunday, October 19, after developer From Software postponed the final day's session during the initial test run. The Souls studio canceled the October 5 session "due to some issues," but an email sent to Joystiq by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe detailed the encore with co-op play for up to two extra players included.
According to a PlayStation Japan support page, the delayed alpha session is due to run between 5PM and 8PM PT in North America (8PM-11PM ET), while in Europe it's scheduled for 6PM-9PM BST (7-10PM CET). Meanwhile, Sony Europe notes voucher codes for the alpha have been extended beyond the stated expiry date, and advises users who've deleted the Alpha Test client they can re-download it.
As we saw earlier this month in the initial alpha run, wily adventurers navigated the cobbled streets of the PS4 action-RPG and found an area they weren't meant to, complete with all manner of weird creatures. Players also encountered a secret boss who uttered "Umbasa," an unusual word that cropped up with religious connotations in Demon's Souls. Cue speculation Bloodborne is tied to the similarly PlayStation-exclusive Demon's Souls.
As for what we do know, Bloodborne hits North America and Europe on Feburary 6, 2015.
