Elden Ring and Bloodborne fans unite as the new Elden Ring Graceborne mod aims to make FromSoftware's 2022 hit title more menacing and wicked.

Created by modder 'Noctis', this Graceborne mod is heavily inspired by 2015's PlayStation  4 exclusive BloodBorne. According to the the modder, the project is still work-in-progress, and there are still plenty of issues with balancing, sound, weapon scaling, and more. It's also worth nothing that the mod won't work with the most recent version of Elden Ring. As such, you'll need to downgrade to version 1.10 or lower. At the moment of writing, 'Noctis' isn't sure when the mod will be working again following last week's release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and the most recent update.

"Graceborne is a mod overhaul still in its infancy. Heavily inspired by Bloodborne, its main goal is to turn Elden Ring's base game into a more grim and sinister experience through multiple means", the modder writes. "In terms of content, the alpha adds a total of 22 armor sets, 35 weapons, 17 trick weapons and 5 firearms. Followed by gameplay additions such as gun parrying, no equip load, quicksteps when locked on, perma-night, Bloodborne-style healing, etc."

The Elden Ring Graceborne mod can be downloaded via Nexusmods here. As expected, this mod is only available for the PC version.

Elden Ring and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion are available worldwide now for PC and consoles. Here's what we wrote about the 2022 hit title in our launch review back then:

Right from the intro, it is clear that the Elden Ring's lore is incredibly deep. The game takes place in the Lands Between, lands that were once prosperous thanks to the rule of Queen Marika The Eternal and her children, the Demigods. The people of the lands were blessed by the Erdtree and the Elden Ring that was generated from it, which kept the Golden Order of the land in place. The Elden Ring itself was maintained by the balance between the different Runes it housed. The history of the Lands Between took a turn for the worse, however, when some mysterious figures stole the Death Rune and killed one of Marika's children, the Demigod Godwyn. This event brought the end of the Golden Order and turned the Lands Between into the state they are in at the start of the game. The player is only one of the Tarnished, whose goal is to recover every Great Rune and restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord. The Tarnished were all blessed by the Erdtree and the Elden Ring, but now only some of them retain the benevolence of Grace, which also guides them toward their destiny.
