Bloodborne: Magnum Opus is basically the sequel we've been waiting for

Bloodborne 2 isn’t with us yet, but we have the next best thing– Bloodborne: Magnum Opus.

Thank you in advance to John Papadopoulos over at Dark Side of Gaming for originally covering this story!

A brand new mod for FromSoftware’s Bloodborne just dropped over on Nexus Mods that aims to restore a bunch of cut content, restore some long-lost graphical settings, and much, much more.

The mod comes courtesy of Abyss1ne, a well-known Dark Souls modder. The “Magnum Opus” (or Project Beast) mod is mostly focused on the graphical side of things from what I can tell, but it does come packed with a bunch of extra goodies in the way of restored cut content.

ICYMI: FromSoft recently unveiled Elden Ring: Nightreign, coming 2025.

The cut content ranges from little visual updates to restored dialogue, and even several new armour sets that were present in the original game’s code.

Now if you’re wondering how you “mod” a PlayStation 4 game, then I probably have some bad news for you (depending on how keen you are to install this).

Modding Bloodborne is no easy task. You’ll need one of two things to pull this off; a modded PlayStation 4 console, or a PC powerful enough to run the PlayStation 4 emulator “ShadPS4”.

Now the former option would probably be preferable, as the PC emulated version of Bloodborne isn’t quite there yet. From what I can see online, it still crashes a lot and often isn’t capable of hitting a consistent 30 frames per second.

If none of that deters you however, then feel free to head over to Nexus and give it a go. Fair warning though, installing it isn’t as easy as just clicking a button. Make sure you give the install instructions a proper read-through before committing to the task.

I’m mostly just curious if this mod restores the cut dialogue from the doll…
