Feb 06, 2025 11:25 AM

The unofficial kart racing game, Nightmare Kart, inspired by the Bloodborne aesthetic, is set to receive a significant free DLC expansion titled "The Old Karts." This expansion will add new characters, karts, tracks, and introduce fresh game modes, as well as a mini-campaign. The DLC aims to enhance the gameplay experience while maintaining a distinct gothic vibe. Created by LWMedia, Nightmare Kart manages to deliver a unique racing experience without directly referencing Bloodborne due to legal considerations. This title is available for free on Steam and Itch.io, appealing to fans of both kart racers and gothic horror genres.

What is Nightmare Kart and what does the new DLC include?

Nightmare Kart is a free PSX-style kart racing game that channels a gothic aesthetic reminiscent of Bloodborne. The upcoming DLC "The Old Karts" will introduce new racers, enhanced karts, additional tracks, various game modes, and a mini-campaign for players to enjoy.

Nightmare Kart, originally known as Bloodborne Kart, came into existence after adapting its design to avoid legal complications surrounding the Bloodborne franchise. Despite being inspired by the popular FromSoftware title, Nightmare Kart presents a fresh gameplay experience that melds racing with gothic themes, catering to a niche audience within the racing game community. It debuted on platforms like Steam and Itch.io, inviting players to indulge in an alternative racing universe.
