Bloodbornewas originally released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015, quickly becoming a huge hit.

Now, gamers are discovering thatBloodbornewill undergo maintenance soon and that Online Mode will be unavailable on December 3 from 11 pm to December 4 at 3 am EST, according to a message that appears when gamers start the title. WhileBloodbornewill still be playable during these four hours, many gamers like to play with Online Mode because of how it works. Not only can gamers help each other defeat powerful bosses inBloodbornewhile playing online, but they can also find helpful messages left by other players. Considering thatBloodbornestill has a high player count many years after its release, it’s unclear how many players will actually be affected by these maintenance times.
When Will Bloodborne Be Offline?
While maintenance times are inconvenient for some players, the most noteworthy bad news for fans of the franchise in 2024 is thatFrom Software is not developing aBloodbornePC port.

While it’s currently possible to emulateBloodborneon PC, the emulation has countless bugs, and severe sound issues, some of which have been fixed recently, but there is still some time to go beforeBloodbornecan finally be fully playable without issues on PC.
