In a much clearer closeup than we we’ve been able to see in prior videos for its upcoming The Old Hunters DLC, Bloodborne’s official twitter shared an up close and personal shot of one of the expansion’s new weapons, the unofficially named Beast Cleaver.
Much longer than the Saw Cleaver, the new weapon features some massive reptilian teeth on its saw side, and squares off to a blunt end. It’s quite intimidating and looks like the character is wielding an alligator. In its trick transformation it becomes a heavy handed whip, much more bludgeoning in execution than the Threaded Cane. You can see it in action in this video from our hands on at TGS:
One of the major critiques of the critically acclaimed Bloodborne was its lack of weapon variety, but the expansion has promised several more additions to the trick arsenal. Â In addition to the Beast Cleaver and officially named Simon’s Bowblade, we can expect to see the following weapons and equipment (unofficial names):
- Galasha’s Fist
- Round Buzzsaw Hammer (“The Pizza Cutter”)
- Burial Cleaver
- Hammer
- Improved beast claw combo/ Max beast combo
- Shield and sword (Able to negate/block/cancel arcane)
- Pick of Death
The Old Hunters comes out on November 24th, and Bloodborne is getting a Game of the Year Edition on November 27th which will feature both the base game and the expansion. Until then keep checking with us here for Bloodborne Articles, the Bloodborne Wiki for all of you game needs and detailed Bloodborne guides like the Merciless Watchers Drop List to help you prepare for the hunt to begin anew.

My eyes attention was taken only by this one
.
I just don’t really care about new weapons, but actual content— talking NPCs, more mysteries, more questions, some point of view changing lore fragment and hopefully some location puzzles finally! I’ve been missing them in the whole Bloodborne.
That beast cleaver looks so good, especially when it’s on the character’s shoulder
I’d like to point out that I don’t think the shield is part of a shield+sword trick weapon combo, rather it might be a standalone left-hand item like the wooden shield. The sword from the clip looked exactly like Simon’s Bowblade.
Thanks for the info. You inspired me to start some lore discussion.
Thanks for linking our MWDL, Emergence. Nice article on the Beast Cleaver too!
