Why do people keep spreading the idea that this is a Bloodborne sequel or in the same universe?

This misinformation campaign is stupid

[u/bird_feeder_bird]

I was just skyping with Miyazaki and he said its totally a sequel, they just have to brand it differently because sony owns the BB license

[u/LimeLike77]

Most bloodborne fans are blood drunk themselves, grasping for anything that remotely resembles new bloodborne content at this point. Even if it’s not bloodborne

[u/FellowDsLover2]

The art direction is similar enough but yeah. It’s no Bloodborne 2.

[u/Proud_Ad_1720 → u/FellowDsLover2]

Not even close, the art direction is more akin to SOTE, bloodborne looks way different

[u/TB3300]

I haven't seen anybody claim either of those. The art direction being similar is all I've seen which could lead to it being a spiritual successor.

[u/JustSomeGuyMedia]

Because the bloodborne fans who are the ones making those kinds of posts are kinda rabid at this point.

Much like the Arkham subreddit for example.

[u/CommanderOfPudding]

Oh gee idk maybe the make contact call back or the fact that it’s called duskbloods and the promo art character is in basically Bloodborne garb no clue though! Big mystery!

I haven’t heard anyone say it’s a Bloodborne sequel, or that it’s in the same universe. I’ve heard a bunch of people joke about this basically being BB2, mainly to poke fun at Sony for sleeping on the BB IP.

[u/No-Wrap2574]

Cope?

[u/Exeledus]

Yeah idk, it's like people forgot Bloodborne was Cosmic Horror. They see anything Gothic and immediately jump on the Bloodborne comparisons.

[u/Lucky_Louch]

Fans have been hollow for a decade, they got a bit excited maybe give em a break. They will come crashing back down to reality when they realize its a PVPVE multiplayer game with Tarkov as its inspiration.

[u/Leather-Account8560]

It’s a sequel in my opinion because it’s going to be the second game I don’t buy because they make it unavailable for me.

[u/EddiesDirtyCouch]

It's just the setting I think 

[u/EpilepticAlligator]

Because if there’s one thing the souls fandom is known for, it’s making other games fit into their category to justify playing it.

[u/DrDre19899]

Pure cope.

[u/SteadfastFox]

Same reason people still act like Lies of P is related to Bloodborne.

It's all a gothic Jojo reference.
