For many, Minecraft is an incredible game for a plethora of reasons. What most of those reasons boil down to, though, is the openness and creativity to build whatever you want, like a giant Gothic skyline.
We’ve seen plenty of examples of amazing of enormous Minecraft builds in the past that break all sense of logic the game should have. There are massive libraries making banned books accessible to those who can’t get at them, and an ongoing recreation of the city of Ba Sing Se from The Last Avatar anime series. Now, one player has added to that list a colossal Dark Souls and Bloodborne-inspired city.

A player by the name of Potomy recently shared their latest Minecraft build, and there’s no other word for it than awe-inspiring. This thing is huge, towering over even the hope of seeing the horizon, providing a sense of impending doom that Bloodborne and Dark Souls fans will be very familiar with.
The area shown in the images above seems to be heavily inspired by the bridge in Central Yharnam, the location in Bloodborne where players face off against the Cleric Beast. It’s crazy how accurately Potomoy has captured the area because we recognized it straight away.
It’s not just us who are impressed, though. Minecraft fans have been replying to the thread on social media to show their respect. “Me: Yeah I dabble in Minecraft Architecture. The OP: ” It’s hard to put into words any sort of comment that appropriately reflects the sheer amount of work required to do this build.
Some fans are even offering to pay to access the build. “BRO, I would pay money to walk around this world.” Considering the state that the Dungeons & Dragons DLC for Minecraft launched in, many players would probably gladly take Potomy’s gothic structure over an actual product from Mojang right now.
Of course, there are skeptics out there who believe this is a program-built world. “This has to be made with some sort of program….no f**king way this is hand built.” This makes sense since the build is just so vast.
However, we’d still say that the amount of work required to input every block and coordinate in a building program would be just as much as building the thing in Minecraft. There are so many layers and tiny bits and pieces. It’s like a giant Lego set that takes 100 hours to put together, only even more impressive.

One of Steam Next Fest's big winners is an intriguing survival RPG, and it's just got a release date.
Microsoft’s Xbox and Inworld AI have partnered to create AI-powered game development tools for narrative and character creation.
If you've ever gazed out across a landscape of misty spires and vast machines and thought "ah, if only I could explore and savour all that without getting my head kicked in by walking skeletons every five minutes", The Silent Swan from Basque Country, Spain-based developer Praenaris might be the game for you. Released today, it gives you a massive, gloomy map full of towering, greeny-black Gothic structures that are packed with backstory documents, but contain absolutely no enemies. The only thing separating you from all that winding, lore-drenched architecture is distance. Check out the trailer below.
One prominent Dark Souls modder has created a massive new modding tool that could allow for even wackier, cooler creations to pop out of Lordran.
I've only just read Sin's thoughts on Akuma Kira's Lunacid and lo and behold, the PS1-styled, first-person dungeon crawler has now released out of Steam Early Access, to considerable rejoicing. Lunacid is a homage to classic FromSoftware games - no, not that juvenile upstart Dark Souls, but King's Field and Shadow's Tower, which date back to the late 1990s.
A recruiting drive at FromSoftware suggests a major expansion of the Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne developer is underway.
The Bed of Chaos is a piece of shit. Let's not sugarcoat it. Nobody likes fighting this thing and, if you say you do, no you don't. It mixes platforming with wonky hitboxes and a lengthy rush to the fog wall in what is one of Dark Souls' most frustrating segments.
Dark Souls is an interconnected game—if you datamine out a full model of Lordran, you're able to look at the entire breadth of it like it's a model train set, from the swamps of Blighttown to the hallowed halls of Anor Londo.
Fromsoftserve's Dark Souls Remastered graphics overhaul mod improves the game's draw distance so much that one of its bosses can be cheesed from a brand new spot.
