Sony has been getting pretty aggressive with a bunch of fan-made Bloodborne projects lately, having apparently just issued a DMCA takedown to a four-year-old 60fps mod, and it's now going after a gorgeous Bloodborne Demake.
But the project's developer, Lilith Walther, is going full steam ahead with DLC for her Bloodborne Kar- err, I mean, Nightmare Kart game anyway.
You might remember Nightmare Kart (FKA Bloodborne Kart) as the game that went viral thanks to its mix of PSX-style polygonal art, whacky party-game racing, and characters ripped straight from FromSoft's gothic masterpiece.

The Old Karts' first trailer below looks wonderfully silly. But LWMedia's exciting announcement came at quite a turbulent time, however, as the demake project that later turned into Nightmare Kart has also been hit with a legal notice from the series' rights holder Sony.
