It is reported that there was a remake plan for "Bloodborne" Sony's Bluepoint's proposal was rejected by FromSoftware's intention.
Bluepoint Games, known for its remakes of "Wanda and the Colossus" and "Demon's Souls", which is said to have proposed several other projects after the closure, proposed a remake of "Bloodborne" last year, but it was reported that it did not materialize due to the intention of FromSoftware, not Sony. The other day, it became known that Sony was shutting down Bluepoint, and Bloomberg reported on the reason. As mentioned in the article, Bluepoint was working on a live-service game for God of War after being acquired by Sony, as well as co-developing God of War Ragnarok. The "God of War" live-service game was planned to feature Atreus descending into the underworld and various versions of Atreus fighting using elements of co-op. However, the idea for the game was not cohesive, and Bluepoint, which specializes in old-fashioned action games, was not very compatible with the project, so development was discontinued in January 2025. Bluepoint was asked for other ideas, and the most logical was the remake of the 2015 classic Bloodborne. Fans have been hoping for a remake or sequel to Bloodborne for years, and rumors have been circulating that there may be some plans going on. And it was generally thought that Sony, the owner of the IP, was preventing FromSoftware from remaking it. However, according to this Bloomberg article, it seems that this is not the case. Studio officials were apparently told that Sony had expressed interest in a remake of Bloodborne, but FromSoftware was not, so the idea was rejected. The handling of "Bloodborne" has been in the air for a long time, and there have been differing opinions among those involved about the future. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki said in 2024 that he was "not in a position to talk" about the matter because FromSoftware does not own the IP for the game. On the other hand, he also told Eurogamer at the time that the remake would benefit from the release on current-gen hardware. The following year, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida gave his views on the state of Bloodborne in an interview with Kinda Funny Games. It may also be consistent with the reports related to this Bluepoint. People often ask about Bloodborne. You are all wondering why it doesn't do anything, and there are no updates or even remasters. It should be easy. Our company has released remastered versions of various titles, so some people seem to be frustrated. There is my personal reasoning about this. I don't know what's going on because I'm away from being in charge of the first party, but Miyazaki really loved Bloodborne, which he made. That's why I think he's interested, but he's a busy seller, so he can't do it himself. But you also don't want others to touch you. Here is my guess. Besides, the PlayStation team respects his will. But this is my idea, right? To make sure there is no misunderstanding, I'm not leaking any secrets. The question that arises here is why no one wants to hit a home run when it is so obvious, and why do they not want to hit it in a studio like Bluepoint? FromSoftware is currently a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive title...
