Even if they have flexible policies and usually don&#8217;t pursue people who use them, it is still someone else&#8217;s intellectual property. At any moment, they can send their lawyers to let us know that we shouldn&#8217;t be doing that. <strong>Something that happens very often with Nintendo, although the most striking case so far this year has had Sony as the protagonist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An independent developer named Bunlith has been developing a game that is a mix of Bloodborne and Mario Kart for years, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/and-if-bloodborne-was-mixed-with-mario-kart-a-game-has-given-an-answer-to-the-most-idiot-possible-question\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">called Bloodborne Kart<\/a>. <strong>Starting as an April Fool&#8217;s joke in 2021, it would become a full-fledged project during 2022<\/strong>. All so that, when it was about to be released at the end of 2023, Sony told them that they couldn&#8217;t release the game with the name Bloodborne or its most distinctive elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing: NIGHTMARE KART\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kH0_71lBW0c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far from giving up, what Bunlith and his team have done is rename it and change the most distinctive elements of the game. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/b0tster\/status\/1775191464147829064\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">The game is now called Nightmare Kart<\/a> and <strong>features 20 racers, 16 maps, a campaign with boss fights, and a battle mode<\/strong>. All of this with enough changes to be different enough from Bloodborne to avoid a lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially peculiar because <strong>Bunlith&#8217;s previous game was Bloodborne PSX, a reimagining of Bloodborne as if it were a game for the original PlayStation,<\/strong> which Sony had no problem with. In any case, Nightmare Kart will be released for free on May 31st for Steam and itch.io.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation APP\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation APP<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nightmare Kart is a fusion between Bloodborne and Mario Kart that is coming out very soon, even after its legal issues with Sony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9268,"featured_media":277093,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":2},"categories":[1018,1015],"tags":[4462,6428,1543,6429,1071],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-277091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","category-news","tag-bloodborne","tag-bunlith","tag-mario-kart","tag-nightmare-kart","tag-sony"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9268"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277091"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277091\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":314035,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277091\/revisions\/314035"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277091"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=277091"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=277091"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=277091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
