Bloodborne Alpha participants are getting one more day on Oct. 19 to play with the forthcoming PS4-exclusive title, this time with online cooperative multiplayer mode.

The email notification reads:

"The Alpha Test will be open for a limited time of the following day: Sunday October 19th 19:00-22:00 (CET), 18:00-21:00 (BST)," which translates to 1 p.m. ET and 10 a.m. PT in the US.

"Please join us to participate in the Bloodborne Alpha Test."

"Please use the current Bloodborne Alpha Test Client, a new patch will be available before Sunday. If you have deleted your Bloodborne Alpha Test Client please re-download it from your download list or the Library on PlayStation 4 menu. If you have not previously downloaded Bloodborne Alpha Test Client then please download it using the voucher code from the side bar menu – all vouchers have had their expiry dates extended even if they state they are out of date on PSN Beta," the email notification explains.

The Alpha testing began last Oct. 3, but Sony had to cancel day three of testing with reports that players stumbled upon unfinished maps and defects.

Patrick O'Rourke of Financial Post was one of the several gamers who was able to get his hands on Bloodborne.

"Bloodborne is relentlessly difficult and never really tells you how to play it, but that's what fans of From Software expect from the spiritual successor to the ultra-difficult Demon's Souls," he said.

O'Rourke furthered, "Bloodborne seems to be a mix of the Dark Souls series with a dash of traditional, faster third-person action-oriented titles."

The game has also wowed the audience during the last Tokyo Game Show, with its different style and intensity as a Gothic action RPG.

Meanwhile, Sony has announced that the Collectors Edition of Bloodborne is now open for pre-order. This version will provide players with special Steelbook collector's case, exclusive premium art book and a digital soundtrack of the game.

Bloodborne Collectors Edition sells for $79.99.
