50 free Bloodborne trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Bloodborne began life as Project Beast, a 2012 collaboration between FromSoftware and Sony's Japan Studio that Hidetaka Miyazaki used to build the Victorian Gothic horror game he felt only new hardware could handle. Dracula, Lovecraft and the architecture of Romania and the Czech Republic fed into Yharnam, a city rotting from blood ministration, while shields gave way to guns and the Rally system rewarded aggression. These 50 questions cover the mechanics, the lore of Byrgenwerth and the Healing Church, the bosses from Rom to the Orphan of Kos, the three endings, The Old Hunters expansion, the collector's editions, the awards, the 9.3 million sales, the fan-made PSX demake and the animated film announced in 2026. Easy questions stick to Yharnam, Blood Echoes and trick weapons; the hard end asks about orchestras, comic writers and UK chart rivals. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation attached. Play it solo or print it for a Souls-fan game night.
