Today Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Studio just released the newest patch for bloodborne, called version 1.07, this update adds new features and changes the online component of the game
Update 1.07 also adds the new League feature by meeting with Summon Master Valtr and obtaining the “Impurity” rune. The update also introduces new NPCs companions into the game’s world. You will be able to summon NPC’s to aid you on your quest, just like it works on co-op play, this also includes the chalice dungeon, in certain areas you will be able to summon up to two NPC Hunters or a combination of one NPC Hunter and a co-op player as well.
“The Old Hunters introduces many new horrific environments and enemies, as well as devastating new weapons and abilities.
Brador, seen donning the scalp and horns of a foul beast, is an ancient Hunter and assassin once employed by the Healing Church who sits in a dark cell, waiting for something—or someone—with bell in hand. And while exploring the new nightmare, beware of the Bell Holder. This massive enemy wields the Bell Axe and is one of the most formidable beasts you will face.
New weapons include:
• Bloodletter – A sick and demented weapon wielded by Brador. This weapon assumes its true form after drawing upon the blood of its wielder. In other words, you must plunge it into your own chest in order to unleash its true power.
• Gatling Gun – A portable version of the stationary rapid-fire gun that Djura uses to rain down lead from the tower in Old Yharnam. While it is great for rapid-fire attacks, it is also cumbersome and goes through Quicksilver Bullets very quickly.
Players will also discover a new rune called The Beast’s Embrace. After many failed experiments, this rune was forbidden from use. That did not stop its discovery from becoming the foundation of the Healing Church, however. Those brave, or foolish, enough to unleash the power of this rune take on a ghastly form and enjoy boosted transformation effects, especially when wielding a beast weapon.”
