Bloodborne Game Of The Year Edition Launches on 25th November

I did a little bit of digging because the reception of this version seems to have stirred the pot;

Bloodbornes in a somewhat unique position compared to its contemporaries as far as GOTY editions go - Most games that have the gall to come forth later on with a GOTY edition have a few things going for them that Bloodborne did not. The first being a release date close to black friday/christmas (seriously, nearly all the AAA games that COULD win GOTY end up releasing around the holidays). This is important to note because Bloodborne came out very early this year and one of the main complaints I'm seeing here has to do with the GOTY version coming out the same calender year. When your game is released in September, October, November then it's fairly obvious you aren't going to announce or release the same game with all the DLC thrown in just a month or two later. This leads me into my next point.

Bloodborne only has one expansion pack. Only one piece of DLC. If Sony Japan/From know that they're moving onto other projects, if they know the games done with after this DLC comes out then it really shouldn't upset people that the GOTY version comes out sooner than later. On that note, Bloodborne has been one of the most successful launches for a new IP this year. Given the competition, especially for new IP, you would be a fool to say it won't win at least a few awards.
