Bloodborne’s legacy might not be haunting Nightreign’s gameplay, but its gothic fashion refuses to retire to the Hunter’s Dream. Long coats, high collars, and those dramatic, Victorian-fueled details keep popping up—on runways, in cosplay, and even in collaborations like SuperGroupies’ themed accessories. It’s everywhere dark fantasy fans gather—apparently, you can take Bloodborne out of the game, but you can’t take the game out of everyone’s closet. Curious what other worlds this style is stalking?
Even years after its release, Bloodborne’s influence continues to haunt not only the PlayStation, but the world of fashion as well—who knew hunting eldritch horrors could be so stylish?
While Nightreign might not resurrect the same haunting spirit, the legacy of Bloodborne’s wardrobe is alive and well, lurking in the closets and runways of dark fantasy enthusiasts everywhere.
The Victorian era shapes much of Bloodborne’s look, with its signature long coats, dramatic dresses, and frock coats.
Step into any fashion-forward event inspired by games, and chances are you’ll spot someone channeling a Hunter—just with fewer actual monsters chasing them down cobblestone streets.
The game’s Gothic style, all shadowy fabrics and intricate patterns, has bled into collections that thrive on the dark and the mysterious.
It’s not just about the coats, though. Accessories like ornate watches, shawls, and wrap garments have found their way into Bloodborne-inspired fashion. One notable example is the SuperGroupies collection, which features watches, coats, crossbody bags, wallets, and scarves—each designed with details drawn from the game’s iconic characters and motifs.
These little details, echoing the game’s mystical atmosphere, offer fans a way to nod to their favorite title without going full cosplay (unless they want to, and honestly, who could blame them?).
Fashion brands have taken notice, too. Japanese brand SuperGroupies dropped a collection that would make any Hunter jealous, with coats and accessories that seem plucked right out of Yharnam.
There’s a clear fascination with the game’s historical influences—Victorian elements show up everywhere, from embroidery to elaborate, high collars.
Beyond the threads themselves, Bloodborne’s style has made a home in art, literature, and themed events.
Cosplay communities, Gothic fandoms, and even mainstream designers borrow from its aesthetic, proving that the game’s impact is more than just pixel-deep.
