2026 has been a monumental year for gaming, with major titles like Grand Theft Auto 6 and Wolverine on the horizon. But for fans of FromSoftware's gothic masterpiece, Bloodborne, the wait for something new has been a decade-long ordeal. While a sequel remains elusive, an official new release is finally on the way—though it's not the game you might expect.
Earlier this week, SuperGroupies, a company known for high-quality licensed merchandise, announced a new line of Bloodborne-themed gear set to drop in January 2027. The collection includes a Hunter Model Jacket, a Hunter Bag, a Lady Maria Bag, and a Bloodborne-themed wallet. These items are designed to let fans carry a piece of Yharnam with them in style.
The announcement comes as a welcome surprise for a community that has been starved for official Bloodborne content since the original's release on PlayStation 4 in 2015. Despite persistent rumors and fan demands, FromSoftware has yet to confirm a sequel or remaster. This merchandise drop offers a tangible connection to the beloved game, even if it's not the new adventure many hoped for.
What Is Bloodborne About?
For those unfamiliar, Bloodborne is an action RPG set in the plague-ridden city of Yharnam. Players take on the role of a Hunter who awakens to a nightmare filled with beasts and blood. Guided by cryptic elders and haunted by cosmic horror, the Hunter must battle grotesque monstrosities and rival hunters to uncover the dark secrets of the Healing Church's forbidden experiments. The game is celebrated for its brutal combat, atmospheric world-building, and relentless difficulty.
According to Metacritic, Bloodborne holds a "must-play" score of 92 from critics and a "generally favorable" 8.9 from players, cementing its status as one of the highest-rated games of all time. Its influence can be seen in later FromSoftware titles like Elden Ring, which drew heavily from Bloodborne's fast-paced combat and gothic aesthetics.
While fans continue to wait for news on a potential sequel, this merchandise line offers a way to celebrate the game's legacy. The Hunter Model Jacket, in particular, is a standout piece, designed to evoke the iconic attire of the game's protagonist. The Lady Maria Bag pays homage to one of the game's most memorable characters, and the wallet is a subtle nod for everyday use.
SuperGroupies has a track record of creating premium collectibles for gaming franchises, and this Bloodborne line is expected to be no exception. The first-look images reveal meticulous attention to detail, from the stitching on the jacket to the embossed logos on the bags.
For those eager to get their hands on this gear, the January 2027 release date gives plenty of time to plan. Pre-orders are likely to open soon, and given the passionate Bloodborne fanbase, these items are expected to sell out quickly.
In the meantime, fans can revisit the original game or explore other FromSoftware titles. If you're looking for more gaming news, check out our coverage of the new Gondor & Rohan expansion for the One Ring RPG, or see how Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen is climbing streaming charts.
