Bloodborne: players complete the game in less than 1 hour

As your probably already aware, Bloodborne has instantly become one of the must-have games on the PlayStation 4. It once again demonstrates From Software's talent for making punishing yet engrossing and detailed fantasy games, with Bloodborne fitting in nicely as the more action-oriented cousin of the best-selling Demon's Souls and Dark Soulsgames.

Did we mention it was ferociously difficult? Well, it is. But that hasn't stopped at least two players from finding ways to complete the game in less than an hour. Unsurprisingly, they've managed to find a couple of glitches which give them the upper hand in Bloodborne's punishing boss battles - one involves using a coffin to boost the player over a fence into a normally out-of-bounds area (one you wouldn't normally have access to until much later in the game) while another glitch allows the player to duplicate items.

YouTube user Oginam_TV got there first, having uploaded a video showing his Bloodbornespeedrun - his time: just 44 minutes. But then Twitch user Irey_tv streamed a video of his own, in which he finishes the game in 35.26 minutes.

As for the game itself, well, we can imagine that From Software will be looking at plugging these exploitable glitches in a patch very soon.
