Bluepoint Games, the PlayStation studio behind the excellently received <em>Demon\u2019s Souls<\/em> remake, seemed like the obvious candidate. According to <em>Bloomberg<\/em>, the first-party team actually did pitch a <em>Bloodborne<\/em> remake not too long ago, but FromSoftware rejected the idea.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, many at Bluepoint had assumed for a long time that a <em>Bloodborne<\/em> remake was inevitable. Then in 2025, after its <em>God of War<\/em> multiplayer project was cancelled, Bloomberg reports that the idea of the studio fielding such a remake was formally pitched within Sony. Unfortunately, FromSoftware wasn\u2019t onboard. While Bluepoint scrambled to come up with other ideas, including a potential <em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> spin-off, Sony never greenlit any of the other pitches.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bloomberg<\/em> doesn\u2019t report exactly why FromSoftware rejected the pitch. The only real theory for why is one offered by former PlayStation Worldwide Studios executive Shuhei Yoshida in an interview last year. \u201cI have only my personal theory to that situation,\u201d he said in 2025. \u201cI left first-party Sony so I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, but my theory is\u2014 because I remember Miyazaki really, really loved<em>\u00a0Bloodborne<\/em>, what he created\u2014and so I think he is interested, but he\u2019s so successful and he\u2019s so busy so he cannot do it himself, but he doesn\u2019t want anyone else to touch it. So that\u2019s my theory, and the PlayStation team respects his wish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of this suggests that a <em>Bloodborne<\/em> remake by FromSoftware itself could still happen at some point in the future, but that possibility is little consolation for fans who don\u2019t want to see one of the last console generation\u2019s best games locked away exclusively on PS4. It\u2019s also of no use to the folks at Bluepoint who might have had their studio saved if their remake pitch had actually come together.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Bloomberg<\/em>, the ultimate reason for the studio\u2019s closure was a loss of faith among the higher-ups at Sony that Bluepoint could still deliver a high-quality original game as it has once been tasked with. The <em>God of War<\/em> live-service project it had previously been working on would have reportedly featured Atreus navigating the underworld, but shift to co-op gameplay that never came together. Sony has moved forward with a remake of the original single-player trilogy, just without its best remake studio at the helm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, PlayStation fans have begged for a remake of Bloodborne.
