New details have emerged suggesting that FromSoftware, not Sony, is the reason a Bloodborne remake has yet to materialise. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Japanese developer has effectively vetoed the project despite Sony's interest.
The revelation comes in the wake of Sony's shock closure of Bluepoint Games, the studio renowned for its remakes of Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Bluepoint had reportedly pitched a Bloodborne remake to Sony, which was met with enthusiasm — the publisher apparently told the team that 'the numbers made sense'.
However, the final decision rested with FromSoftware, the original developer of the 2015 classic. Sources indicate that company president Hidetaka Miyazaki has a particular affection for Bloodborne and, while he would welcome a remake in principle, he 'doesn't want anyone else to touch it'. This has led Sony to withhold the green light for any remaster or remake project.
For now, Bloodborne remains trapped on PlayStation 4, with no noticeable performance improvements when played on PS5. FromSoftware's current commitments include the Switch 2 exclusive 'The Duskbloods' and ongoing support for Elden Ring Nightrein, leaving the door firmly shut on a Bloodborne remake in the near future.
