Bloodborne fans waiting for a new game, remaster, or PC release should set expectations accordingly: the newly announced May 2027 release is a collectible, not a return to Yharnam. Good Smile Company has reopened orders for its figma Hunter: The Old Hunters Edition, giving collectors another chance to pick up an articulated version of the DLC-inspired Hunter and its sizeable weapon selection.
What is arriving in May 2027?
The upcoming release is a reissue of Good Smile Company’s figma Hunter: The Old Hunters Edition. It is based on the Hunter’s look from Bloodborne’s celebrated expansion and is designed as a poseable display figure rather than a game product. Pre-orders are open, with shipping expected in May 2027. The figure costs 12,800 yen, listed at roughly $81 USD, and customers can order up to three units. That distinction matters for anyone who saw the Bloodborne name attached to a new release and hoped it signalled an official remaster, port, sequel, or DLC revival: none of those projects were announced in the source information.
Who should consider the Hunter figma?
This release is aimed at collectors and dedicated Bloodborne players who want a flexible display piece built around the game’s combat identity. The Hunter has articulated joints, allowing for a range of action poses, while an articulated stand offers additional display options. Its strongest feature may be the included arsenal. Good Smile Company packs in the Saw Cleaver, Hunter Pistol, Hunter Blunderbuss, Hunter Axe, Whirligig Saw, Ludwig’s Holy Blade, and a transforming Saw Cleaver configuration. That lineup covers equipment associated with both the main game and The Old Hunters, making the figure more appealing than a standard single-pose statue.
What comes next for Bloodborne fans?
For now, the announcement is another example of Bloodborne’s continued cultural pull rather than evidence of a new interactive release. The original PS4 game remains widely regarded as one of FromSoftware’s standout titles, while The Old Hunters has retained a particularly strong reputation for its lore, weapons, and demanding boss encounters. Ludwig the Accursed, Lady Maria, and the Orphan of Kos remain among the expansion’s best-known fights. The re-release gives fans a licensed way to celebrate that legacy, but players looking to revisit the actual experience will still need to rely on the existing game and expansion rather than wait for this figure to bring new content.

Expert View
The Hunter figma looks like a worthwhile reissue for collectors because it prioritizes Bloodborne’s distinctive trick weapons and combat poses instead of offering a minimal shelf piece. Still, it should be judged strictly as merchandise. Its May 2027 date does not answer the long-running demand for a modern way to play Bloodborne, and fans seeking that kind of announcement will need to keep waiting.
