The New Bloodborne Movie Has A Perfect Story That Most Game Fans Missed

by

As a huge fan of Bloodborne, I’m already buzzing about the upcoming movie! What’s really exciting is that the game actually hides a whole storyline that most players don’t even fully uncover. The news of a Bloodborne film has got everyone talking – and for good reason! That world, with its Lovecraftian horror and incredibly deep lore, just begs to be adapted for the big screen. It feels like there’s so much potential to tell a truly amazing story.

While a Bloodborne movie would be fantastic, it can’t simply recreate the game’s story. Films and games are different, and things that work well in a game – like multiple endings or optional content – don’t translate easily to a movie. The film will need to carefully choose which parts of the game to include and tell a focused story.

While Bloodborne is a fantastic game from start to finish, some parts of its story would translate to a movie screen better than others, especially if the film wants to satisfy both new viewers and longtime fans. Fortunately, the movie adaptation has a bit of an advantage: a key part of Bloodborne‘s story isn’t fully understood by even many dedicated players.

The Queen Yharnam Storyline Is Perfect For The Movie To Explore Given Most Game Players Never Saw All Of It

The Queen of Yharnam is a key figure in Bloodborne‘s story, but many players haven’t fully experienced her narrative. Even those who have may have missed important details, as her story is told in a very subtle and understated way.

Queen Yharnam was a ruler from a very old civilization called the Pthumerians, existing long before the events of the game Bloodborne. Though she’s deceased, her spirit appears in the game’s story, hinting that the world’s current troubles are just one in a long series of similar disasters. These cycles are caused by the actions of powerful, god-like beings – the Great Ones – who want to create heirs, and by those who try to connect with them.

The game reveals that Mergo, Yharnam’s child, was likely born from the Queen and a Great One named Odeon. Mergo, who was stillborn, seems to have caused the creation of the Nightmare of Mensis, a key location in the game. However, to fully understand Yharnam’s history, players must explore optional areas called Chalice Dungeons and defeat a hidden version of Queen Yharnam found within them.

This is a challenging optional task in Bloodborne that very few players complete—only about 8.2% of PlayStation players have earned the related trophy, according to PSNProfiles. Those who do get to see a unique, living version of the city of Yharnam and fight the Queen while she’s pregnant, revealing glimpses of the powers her unborn child, Mergo, would eventually have.

Considering everything, a Bloodborne movie centered around Queen Yharnam and the secrets surrounding her would be a strong choice. This storyline, which many players haven’t experienced in the game, connects to almost any theme a movie could explore and would naturally allow for the inclusion of key Bloodborne characters. Most importantly, it would fully capture the franchise’s atmosphere of horror and tragedy, respecting its rich lore.

The Queen Yharnam Storyline Would Provide An Excuse To Use Feature Several of Bloodborne’s Best Bosses

Throughout Bloodborne, we mostly encounter the ghost of Queen Yharnam, and Mergo remains unseen except for the baby carriage she’s associated with. Because these characters are connected to many others and bosses in the game, a story focusing on them would naturally open the door to featuring a wide variety of familiar faces in the movie.

For a movie adaptation of Bloodborne centered on the Queen Yharnam story, it makes the most sense to feature the boss players fight instead of Mergo. This is a good choice because Mergo’s Wet Nurse is one of the game’s most visually impressive bosses, with a design that resembles an angel, and the game is already full of memorable characters.

Like Micolash, a fascinating character in Bloodborne who drastically altered his mind trying to contact the Great Ones, Rom, the disturbing spider boss, is crucial to the story. Defeating Rom is what first reveals Queen Yharnam to the player.

The way these story elements connect highlights the exciting possibility of using this approach for a Bloodborne movie. It would allow the film to feature many of the game’s most memorable and bizarre bosses, and include characters that would make the adaptation truly captivating.
