Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide & Artbooks on Sale

The Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide is impressive, and it is worth $45.50 at Amazon. This complete official guidebook from Future Press is rarely much discounted. As it stands, the 25% discount is already a good deal. However, anyone in the Midwest (possibly beyond) can get an additional 25% discount by selecting the coupon box below the price. So, after applying both the coupons, I thought the final price would be $45. But it isn’t. It’s just $34.12. Quite a bargain, isn’t it? It’s almost half of the $60 MSRP.

The Complete Edition adds 200 pages to the already improved Collector’s Edition Guide. The added material contains detailed coverage of The Old Hunters expansion, which in 2015 was released as a standalone 224-page guide. Besides gameplay description content, the guide boasts concept art, analysis of Yharnam and its lore, an interview with director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and a caretakers guide reference index.

Fans looking to add to their Bloodborne collection can use those savings for the official Bloodborne art book, which is $32 (was $45) on Amazon. You can also pre-order the $25 Deluxe Edition of the first Bloodborne graphic novel which will be releasing soon.

Due to industry trends, physical strategy guides have seen a rapid decline over the past decade. What was once a mainstay for fantasy titles has turned into deluxe reference style art books.

Future has recently announced an official Elden Ring Nightreign guidebook, scheduled to launch on 30th September and available for pre-order for $42.74.
