Bloodborne Kart Rebrands as Nightmare Kart, Out for Free on PC This May | Push Square
After Sony forced one-man developer Lilith Walther to rebrand their PC kart racer inspired by Bloodborne, the game has reappeared as Nightmare Kart. A new trailer can be viewed above, which confirms the title will release on PC platforms like Steam and Itch.io for free on 31st May 2024.
As the YouTube description points out, you can look forward to racing 20 different characters around 16 courses, and the best part is it's now all «legally distinct». You can choose to play through the campaign — which contains boss fights — or engage in a battle mode versus other players.
It was claimed Sony got in touch with Lilith Walther in January to request the rebrand, which was taken as something of a positive: «The idea of having full creative control is kind of exciting!»

A minor compromise all things considered. Hopefully it's just the character names that have changed and not the designs. This will be a hoot and a holla by the looks of it.
@DiggleDog It really is due to the trickiness of copyright law. They may not be worried about this project or dev, but allowing the IP to be used could open up difficulties with denying it elsewhere by more malicious parties, like a flood of fake Bloodborne games being
