From Software's next title, Bloodborne, has drawn frequent comparisons to its famous Dark Souls franchise. And while the two are certainly similar, there's plenty we've seen from Bloodborne that sets it apart.

A new story trailer further shows off the contrasts between the games, which seem to be themed pretty differently. They're both dark in tone, but Bloodborne has a very clear horror aesthetic that I think suits the gameplay quite well. It also looks fantastic on the new hardware, which makes the combat seem much more fluid and dynamic.

The game's producer, Masaaki Yamagiwa, took to the PlayStation blog to discuss his game's direction. He hits on a few of the story's topics, and tells us that the game is nearly done:
"When we revealed the first 18 minutes of the game a few weeks ago, I introduced how the game starts with the player arriving in Yharnam and receiving a blood transfusion from a strange doctor, which ends up clouding his memory. Is this all a dream? A nightmare? Where did all of the beasts come from? And what secrets does this Yharnam blood hold? Check out the trailer for just a small taste of the mysteries and horrors waiting for you in Bloodborne.
"I'm extremely excited that Bloodborne is just about complete, and I cannot wait to unleash it on the world and see how players react. The story campaign is a dark adventure that will deliver epic challenges and epic rewards from the very start. Plus, with our multiplayer and new Chalice Dungeon features, we are looking to deliver even more new ways for fans to connect, play, discover, and conquer new challenges than ever before."
Bloodborne is launching exclusively for PlayStation 4 on March 24 in North America, 25 in the European Union, 26 in Japan, and 27 in the U.K.
