Lord of Mysteries is the closest we might get to Bloodborne 2

Lord of Mysteries is the closest we might get to Bloodborne 2

Here is a 200-word summary of the news article: "Lord of Mysteries," a Chinese animated series, has drawn comparisons to the video game "Bloodborne" for its dark, occult themes and supernatural worldbuilding. Ten years after "Bloodborne's" release, fans are still eagerly awaiting a sequel that may never come. In the absence of a new "Bloodborne" game, the author found a worthy replacement in "Lord of Mysteries." Adapted from a Chinese web novel, "Lord of Mysteries" follows a man who wakes up in a Victorian-inspired fantasy world, where he becomes a "beyonder" - a person with supernatural powers gained by drinking mysterious potions. The series explores the dangers and moral ambiguity of these powers, as beyonders risk abandoning their humanity. Like "Bloodborne," "Lord of Mysteries" features a complex mythology centered around enigmatic gods and cults. The series' unsettling atmosphere, which blends the mundane and the occult, is evocative of Lovecraftian horror. It also plays with the concept of dreams and questioning reality, mirroring themes from "Bloodborne." While "Lord of Mysteries" may lack the intense combat of "Bloodborne," its captivating worldbuilding and eerie, thought-provoking narrative make it a worthy substitute for fans eagerly awaiting a sequel to the beloved video game.
