Future Press has released an expanded version of its acclaimed official Bloodborne strategy guidebook, which is quickly approaching a sell-out status. As of October 22, the delivery window for orders on certain platforms stretches to November 19, and it is already out of stock directly from the publisher. Fans of Bloodborne are strongly advised to purchase the guide soon.
The Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide features an impressive 744 pages, incorporating approximately 200 additional pages compared to the 2017 Collector’s Edition Guide. This comprehensive volume covers the entire game and the The Old Hunters expansion, which previously had its own 224-page guide published in 2015. The guide provides detailed strategies for completing every aspect of the base game and DLC, along with stunning concept art, an in-depth exploration of the lore surrounding Yharnam, an exclusive interview with director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and a thorough reference index for players.
Physical guidebooks have become rare in the gaming industry, transforming them into sought-after collector’s items. Previous editions have been seen with inflated prices on resale markets, and the latest edition is likely to follow suit. Nonetheless, From Software remains one of the few studios actively partnering with publishers on strategy guides. For instance, Future Press also launched an official guide for the recent Armored Core game, which is still available at its regular price.
Additionally, while the first two volumes of Elden Ring’s Books of Knowledge guidebook series have been sold out for some time, preorders for the upcoming Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s official guide are currently available at a discount ahead of its October 31 release.
The Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide not only serves as a comprehensive guide for players but also as a treasure trove of exclusive content. The guide includes:
- An exclusive interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki
- The Story of Yharnam lore sections
- 20 pages of concept art from The Old Hunters
- A Lore Index with significant reference notes about Yharnam
This publication is officially titled Bloodborne Complete Guide 25th Anniversary Edition, marking the milestone for Future Press.
For enthusiasts looking to enrich their collections further, additional official From Software art books and graphic novels are also available. Among these are the Bloodborne Official Artworks, a 256-page paperback, alongside various titles related to Elden Ring and Dark Souls.
In sum, the Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide is not just a guide; it is an essential resource for fans wanting to delve deeper into the intricacies of the game while also serving as a cherished addition to any gaming library.
