Like The New Order, The Old Blood is a dedicated single-player experience. There's no special in-game bonus for The Old Blood if you have previously played The New Order, but Berg promises plenty of story references aimed at veteran players. 'Given the scope of the narrative, the additions to gameplay and the volume of new content … it just made sense to have it stand on its own two legs.' 'We want everyone to be able to play it, both new fans and old,' said Berg. Nope! The Old Blood is completely standalone, meaning you can dive into it regardless of whether or not you own The New Order.
