A lucky few have been granted access to the Bloodborne alpha, fighting through the monstrous inhabitants of Yharnam. The alpha was supposed to be restricted to certain areas, but a glitch was discovered that allowed players to access a new area which had different items and new boss. This exploit has led to a delay in the next Alpha session, which was supposed to have gone live yesterday. The message only mentions issues but it is likely that a patch is being worked on to stop players accessing the new area.
Youtube user Sanadsk has uploaded footage of what the new location consisted of, which you can view below. If you want to avoid any spoilers then don’t watch it.

I played Bloodborne at EGX, with a preview on it going live last week. It is definitely a challenging game and one for fans of the Souls games. It looked really good and the combat felt very tactical too.
