Developer Lilith Walther, who goes by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/b0tster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">b0tster on Twitter<\/a>, and the team at Fan Software pulled out the, <em>erm<\/em>, stops on this one. The game will feature 12 racers to choose from and 16 maps on which to race. It comes with a story mode for solo play, as well as a Battle mode and split-screen multiplayer. And since this is, naturally, based on a From Software game, it includes boss battles. How the latter all works isn&#8217;t all the much of a mystery. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/bloodborne-kart-father-gascoigne-boss-fight-footage-demake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">showcased before<\/a>, the boss battles are one-on-one arena showdowns with deadly weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bloodborne Kart Release Date Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZNn-tNe0s2A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bloodborne-kart-is-a-joke-game-no-more\"><em>Bloodborne Kart<\/em> is a joke game no more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The developer also released a new trailer, as seen above. It offers a glimpse of some of the marketable features, such as the playable characters. Want to know who will win in a race between Maria and Baby Mergo? Well, <em>Bloodborne Kart <\/em>will provide you with the answer to that fan fiction born of a fever dream. My money is on Mergo, though. You see the child whip out that pistol during the trailer? This kid isn&#8217;t playing. The game&#8217;s creators certainly do appear to be having a good time. I have nothing but respect for that unabashed homage to <em>Akira<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bloodborne-kart-race-track.webp?w=640&#038;resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"bloodborne kart release date race on winding map\" class=\"wp-image-422705\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via Fan Software<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it&#8217;s a fan-made game, you should expect it to go easy on your wallet.
