TheBloodbornestruggle is something every FromSoftware fan is aware of. Released in 2015, FromSoftware’s gothic masterpiece was an instant hit. However, the action-RPG’s framerate issues made it frustrating to play, leading to fan outcry for aPS5 remaster or remake, but to no avail.
Sony’s silence on the matter has led to fans taking things into their own hands, and the hauntingly beautiful streets of Yharnam will bustle with activity again, thanks to a 2-week-long community event.
Return To Yharnam Breathes New Life IntoBloodborne
The resurgence of players is fueled by the annual Return to Yharnam event, a community-driven initiative designed to rekindle the Hunt and revitalize the game’s online features. The initiative is spearheaded byBloodborneWikicreator Meph.
RETURN TO YHARNAM 2024 (March 24th to April 7th)
Happy to say it’s that time again. Create a new character & play through the game. Engage in as much co-op along the way as possible. Leave a message that says “you’re in the know, right?” by as many lamps as possible. Have fun!pic.twitter.com/QsBYT0vFrg

In its nascent years,Bloodborne‘s multiplayer teemed with co-op play and tense PvP battles. However, the amount of active players has naturally declined over the years, leading to a dwindling pool of fellow hunters to share the experience with.

Return to Yharnam encourages players, both seasoned veterans and curious newcomers, to embark on fresh journeys through the game’s charmingly nasty world. Imagine the thrill of vanquishing the Cleric Beast with the aid of another hunter, or the adrenaline pumping as an invader forces you to a duel to the death.
What Players Are Encouraged To Do
For Return to Yharnam, players are urged to create new characters and actively engage in co-op throughout their playthrough. Leaving messages near lanterns that read “you’re in the know, right?” serves as an effective method of reconnecting with fellow hunters.
This enigmatic phrase, a cornerstone ofBloodborne‘s cryptic lore, becomes a rallying cry, reminding players of 2015’s shared experiences and encouraging them to partake once more. If only we could do so at a smoother framerate. The event will run from 28 June 2025 to 10 July 2025.
For those yet to playBloodborne, this community event is the perfect opportunity. The game’s gothic world, oppressively beautiful atmosphere, challenging combat, and layered lore, are best experienced alongside others. Whether it’s forging bonds through co-op play or testing your skills in PvP, the presence of a revitalized online community significantly enhances the experience.
