You thought Sony PS4-exclusive Bloodborne was a one-shot thing? Think again.

Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida broke the ice at last night’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press event by announcing that the game’s first expansion, which he technically alluded to in a tweet back in May, will be downloadable for $19.99 on November 24.

It’s called “The Old Hunters,” and that’s the official trailer below, doing its level best to horrify-slash-electrify us. It wouldn’t be a goth-pocalypse without a dissonant choir from hell, or a sky-blotting moon to usher in the splatter-kung-fu.

The expansion will let you “experience the nightmare of the hunters who once guarded Byrgenwerth’s darkest secrets,” according to a Sony blog post announcing the news (Byrgenwerth being one of the Lovecraftian setting’s many unpronounceable locations). The usual content upticks apply: new areas, outfits, beasts, weapons, boss fights, magical abilities, and a trickle more of story. (FromSoftware’s games are always delightfully short on the telling, but big on the doing/showing.)

Yoshida also revealed that Bloodborne has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide, which is a momentous milestone for this particular game.

Why? First, because it’s the spiritual successor to a ridiculously niche action-roleplaying game (Demon’s Souls) no one, including its developer FromSoftware, expected to sell so well. And second, because Bloodborne arrived less than a year and a half after the PlayStation 4 did, pitting its appeal against the hard limitations of an embryonic install base.

And finally, because it’s freaking difficult and sublimely paced.
