FromSoftware Reportedly Blocked a Bloodborne Remake by Bluepoint
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A new report reveals that FromSoftware blocked Bluepoint Games from developing a Bloodborne remake for Sony, dashing long-held fan hopes for a modern update.
Fans waiting for a modernized version of Bloodborne just received a major reality check. According to a recent report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, PlayStation support studio Bluepoint Games pitched a full Bloodborne remake to Sony Interactive Entertainment last year. While the business metrics made sense to the parent company, FromSoftware ultimately stepped in and turned the project down, effectively killing the pitch before it could move forward. This follows a pattern of hesitation surrounding the beloved 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive, which has famously remained locked at thirty frames per second despite years of passionate community lobbying.
Studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki has historically been protective of his creative works, and industry veterans have long theorized that he simply does not want outside studios modifying his creations. Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida previously noted that while Miyazaki holds a deep affection for the gothic action role-playing game, he may prefer to keep it untouched rather than hand the reins to another developer. With Bluepoint facing an impending closure and FromSoftware currently tied up with multiple major projects like Elden Ring expansions and new hardware exclusives, the path toward a remaster or remake looks entirely closed.
For a community that treats the hunt as a foundational gaming memory, the news stings, but it also provides definitive closure on a decade-long rumor mill. Players will continue to rely on standard backward compatibility on modern hardware to experience Yharnam, leaving the original masterpiece to stand alone without modern enhancements. As digital ownership and platform preservation become increasingly vital topics for modern players, the absence of an updated Bloodborne remains one of the industry's most glaring preservation blind spots.
