FromSoftware announcements and news are infrequent, with a lot of mystery and confusion surrounding the developer’s games. While it may be fun for fans to entertain leaks about games they are excited for, they should be wary of rumors that may not be true. Rumors are circulating online about a spiritual successor toBloodborne, which is the action RPG that invited gothic, cosmic horror into FromSoftware’s world design.
FromSoftware fans were recently treated to anElden Ringgameplay trailer. But long-time FromSoftware fans continue to express their enthusiasm towardBloodborne. Fans have wanted a dedicated sequel, or at leastaBloodbornePC port. However, hearing rumors of a leaked, spiritual successor toBloodbornemay be enough to satisfy FromSoftware fans.

Firstly, it is important to note that any information concerning the allegedVelvet Veilis unconfirmed and a mere rumor at this point. No further details are included aboutVelvet Veilother than it would be a spiritual successor toBloodborne. This information offers no context or insight into what the supposed FromSoftware title is other than referencing another game as its influence. The apparent leaker, who goes by the name Ruancarlo Silva, has shared what they believe to be evidence ofVelvet Veil’s existence as a PS5 exclusive, and that it wouldlaunch sometime afterElden Ring. However, there is currently no discernible proof that Silva’s rumors about a leakedVelvet Veilgame are true.
If legitimate, fans may assume thatVelvet Veilwould look and play similarly toBloodborne. But individuals who were referenced in the leaker’s discussions aboutVelvet Veilhave since declined to share information, and claim that they were not involved in posting anything about the rumored FromSoftware game.
Further, other insiders who are knowledgeable about previous FromSoftware leaks have disputed the legitimacy ofVelvet Veilaltogether. Lance McDonald, whoproduced a 60fps patch forBloodborneon the PS4 Pro, has since provided evidence toward the leaker’s sources being questionable. Apparently, the leaker has denied having claimed that they had leaked details about the game at all.
Velvet Veilis only a fabricated rumor until FromSoftware makes an announcement. As it stands, it appears unlikely that fans will be receiving any official news about a spiritual successor toBloodborne. If fans do hear about a spiritual successor or sequel, it may very well not be titledVelvet Veil, andBloodbornefans may have to waitfor some time to hear news about it.
