Bloodborne 2 is still nowhere to be seen, so maybe try this mod that turns Elden Ring into Bloodborne

Another The Game Awards has gone by without mention of Bloodborne 2, Bloodborne Remastered, or even a patch to get it running at 60 FPS. The negligence hurts, so fans have come up with Graceborne, a mod that Bloodborne-ifies the entirety of Elden Ring, and it’s fantastic.

Graceborne gives a massive grimdark overhaul to most of The Lands Between from Elden Ring. This glorious mod kills Elden Ring’s day and night cycle to make night permanent, drenching even its most colorful places in the darkness you’d associate with Bloodborne, and adds new textures heavily reminiscent of Yharnam. And on top of all the cool areas to look at, players will also get to marvel at some of the enemies they already know from Elden Ring with a Bloodborne makeover, like this beautiful headless horseman.

But Graceborne isn’t just about aesthetics, and it features the coolest FromSoftware elements unique to Bloodborne, such as the weapons. Graceborne not only adds the firearms from Bloodborne, but also functional trick weapons that you already know from the game, as well as some new ones. Also, gun parrying is naturally back, as is Bloodborne’s no equip load, so as to allow players to make full use of a hunter’s natural nimbleness.

Graceborne completely alters the nature of Elden Ring, naturally, but mod creator Noctis states that this is not an attempt at a Bloodborne sequel or expansion. He explains that Graceborn is a cool coat of paint for Elden Ring. From what I’ve experienced, however, he’s selling his work short. Graceborne is truly fantastic, another extraordinary victory for the Souls’ amazing modding community, even if you just want to walk around and see what The Lands Between would look like during super Halloween.

Bloodborne and Elden Ring are two of the greatest games of all time. That’s not just because of what they offer right out of the gate, but also because of how inspiring they are and how they allow fans to work with their inspiration. Graceborne is another example of the power of the Souls modding community. While the developer humbly claims it’s still in its infancy, Graceborne is already very worthy of your time.

This is not an unofficial expansion or continuation to either game; this is a labor of love that lets one of the best games ever bleed out into the other to create something new, and you should totally check it out.

Call of Duty grinders, the wait for competitive play is just a bit longer, but it’s well on the way.

Ranked Play in Black Ops 7 is not available at launch, but it’s coming before you know it. When it arrives, multiplayer gamers will have all sorts of ranks and rewards to earn as they level up and climb the competitive ladder.

Here’s everything we know about Ranked Play in BO7, including when to expect it.

When is BO7 Ranked Play coming out?

According to Treyarch and Activision, Ranked Play will be available as part of season two of BO7. The start date for season two is not official yet, but according to the season one battle pass’s in-game countdown timer, it should be on Feb. 5, 2026.

CoD seasons last about two months long, and season one began on Dec. 4, 2025. While Feb. 5 is not set in stone, it’s a likely date alongside Feb. 12 or even Feb. 19 depending on if it gets delayed or not (which is, unfortunately, always a possibility). When this season is live, Ranked Play will be live along with it.

Season two will also bring everything that CoD players expect from seasonal drops, like new weapons, new maps, new Zombies experiences, new Warzone modes, and even updates for the PvE Endgame activity. But Ranked Play is where the hardcore players will be looking to flex.

More about Ranked Play will be revealed in January 2026, but for now, players can expect more of the same when it comes to Ranked that was seen in previous titles like Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare III, including:

• Multiple ranks and skill divisions to grind through
• Call of Duty League-inspired ruleset, modes, and maps
• Exclusive rewards like camos and player cards every season
• Plus more

Stay tuned for more official info from Activision some time after the holiday season on when to expect season two of BO7 and everything that will be included within it.
