Bloodborne will be released early next year and will be playable for the first time at gamescom.

From Software's gothic action adventure, helmed by Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki, will be available to the public at the German expo in August.

"We're really working flat out to get this game out for early 2015," producer Jun Yoshino told Digital Spy and other attendees at a recent PlayStation event in London.

"We're going to be there at all upcoming major game shows like gamescom, where we'll have our first hands-on demo on pods on the showfloor. There we can gauge first hand the reaction to the game."

Leaked earlier this year as 'Project Beast', it was formally revealed at E3 2014 as a Sony-published PS4 exclusive.

Miyazaki has confirmed that the game's world is not connected to PS3 game Demon's Souls.

Dark Souls 2 will receive three new downloadable add-on chapters before the end of the year.
