Basic Information

Returning to areas featured in the early Project Beast and Bloodborne trailers reveals that aspects of their design has changed.

Hemwick Changes

► Hemwick is displayed using a daytime lighting effect that the retail release only uses in the "Yharnam Sunrise" ending. The rising sun is visible on the horizon, and Yharnam itself cannot be seen.		► The large open area of Hemwick has remained largely unchanged, but the obelisk that summons the carriage is not present.

		► Like Yharnam, Cainhurst cannot be seen from Hemwick.

► Vicar Amelia appears in the Witch of Hemwick's boss room. The wooden beam that crosses the room is not present.		► In an early Bloodborne trailer, the large statue of a woman with a spade is not present in Hemwick.

Cathedral Ward Changes

► The lighting on the stairs leading to the Grand Cathedral is very different, using a higher contrast and more greens and yellows.

► The lighting on the stairs leading to the Grand Cathedral is very different, using a higher contrast and more greens and yellows.		► A Loran Cleric enemy guards the stairs to the Grand Cathedral, where the Church Servant with the repeating pistol stands in the retail release. The barrier behind it is not properly textured, and the eagle gargoyle has been rotated ninety degrees.

► The altar in the Grand Cathedral has a human skull on it, and the ceiling above the altar is of a different design.		► Early trailers show that Yharnamite Huntsmen are present in far greater numbers in Cathedral Ward.

► Early trailers show that Yharnamite Huntsmen are present in far greater numbers in Cathedral Ward.		► The alleyway where Arianna and the Skeptical Man live is far foggier in the early trailers, and features a Huntsman's Minion.

► This large bell is focused on. Its location in the trailer is unknown, but the bell asset itself is reused above a door in Cathedral Ward.		► The design of Cathedral Ward seen in the CG intro movie appears to match the early design data-mined from Dark Souls Remastered, with the bridge to Upper Cathedral Ward in a different position and the plaza area being absent.

Old Yharnam Changes

► The church leading to Old Yharnam features a statue that would have functioned like a lantern. The door to Old Yharnam is also of a different design.		► An early Bloodborne trailer shows a Bell Maiden in Old Yharnam. Comparing this with the retail release shows that more sandbags, oil urns and grass were added to Old Yharnam. The sun and clouds are also of a different design.
