New Bloodborne PS4 Update Announced, Here's What It Does

From Software's acclaimed PlayStation 4 role-playing game Bloodborne is getting a new update--and soon.

The Japanese developer has announced game update 1.05, which includes various, minor-sounding changes to the game. Also included with the update are bug fixes and online improvements.

You can see the full changelog below.

Bloodborne 1.05 Changes:

• If a player uses the Beckoning Bell or Small Resonant Bell while using a password, it will be clearly indicated that a password is in use.
• If the level difference between the host and the guest when matched using a password is large, the guest's stats will be adjusted to match the host's.
• Other bug fixes and matching improvements.

Bloodborne 1.05 will be released next week, immediately following a server maintenance period that will be held July 12/13, depending on where you live. During the period, online play will be unavailable.

The Bloodborne maintenance period will take place:

07/12/2015:

23:00 - 04:00 (PDT)

07/13/2015:

02:00 - 07:00 (EDT)

01:00 - 06:00 (CDT)

00:00 - 05:00 (MDT)

06:00 - 11:00 (GMT)

Looking ahead, From Software explained that it will "continue to make improvements to better the play experience." The game's first expansion is also in development, though neither From Software nor Sony have said much about it beyond confirming its existence back in May.

Bloodborne has sold more than 1 million copies. For more on the dark RPG, check out GameSpot's review.
