The first gameplay footage of From Software's Bloodborne has arrived in the form of off-screen footage from an E3 presentation.

The footage, cut down from a now-private video and uploaded by NeoGAF user ProcHoliday, shows a trenchcoated figure navigating a darkened city.

He uses a pair of cleavers to cut down several foes in combat that should be familiar for fans of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, From Software's previous projects.

It's intriguing to the point that I'll be watching this game closely to see how it develops. Certainly interested, but those graphics will hopefully be improved as they don't look too l337 from this angle.

Looks a little faster than I expected.

This is not a leak, I saw it on a stream earlier.

For this demonstration they really should have gotten someone who actually knows how to play the game.

I don't understand how people aren't locking on to enemies

cmon you cant judge a game from an off screen source on a youtube!

So are they taking the same type of combat difficulty system where I rage quit and throw my controller against the wall? or I wonder if they will have an easy or moderate mode for beginner?

Looks fantastic.

Well you're right, there was a genuine .gif leak for this game that looked incredible. I really have high expectations, this video just doesn't look that good
