Fans have wanted to seeBloodbornereturn in some capacity since it originally launched in 2015. Rumor has it that fans may be able to hunt once again, as Bluepoint Games is supposedly working on aBloodborneremake.
Bloodborneis a landmark title that came pretty early into the PS4’s lifespan. Developed by FromSoftware, the creator ofDemon’s SoulsandDark Souls,Bloodborneevolved the gameplay found in those games, emphasizing player movement and mobility, and encouraging players to fight aggressively rather than defensively. BeforeBluepoint Games was acquired by PlayStation, it was already in great standing with Sony, giving new life to many classic games with remakes ofShadow of the Colossusand last year’sDemon Souls.Blast Masteron the PS3 was the studio’s last original project, having focused on remasters and remakes ever since.

Colin Moriarty dropped a cryptic tease that Bluepoint Games may be working on aBloodborneremake. He writes simply on Twitter, “I’m hearing through the grapevine Bluepoint Games may be on a journey to Yharnam.” For those who might not have played the game,Yharnam isBloodborne’s setting, a gothic, decrepit metropolis, once swarming with people, now festering with beasts and the sick. After PlayStation’s acquisition of Bluepoint, it confirmed its next title is a totally original one, but the latest rumors state that it is working on both a new title as well as another remake.
Based on howBluepoint Games handled theDemon’s Soulsremake, it is clear the studio knows how to develop aSouls-like game. TheDemon’s Soulsremake managed to simultaneously improve the game mechanically so that it is on par with the likes ofDark Souls 3, while also retaining the game’s original vision and atmosphere. Every couple of months, rumors forBloodbornesequels and remakes appear, but with FromSoftware still being hard at work withElden Ring, and multiple people claiming a remake is in development at Bluepoint Games, this is the best chance at seeing this beloved world again.
If this rumor does come to fruition,Bloodbornewill become the most recently released game to receive the remake treatment. The previous game is also a PlayStation title, it being theremake of Naughty Dog’sThe Last of Us, which was confirmed to be in development earlier this year. Perhaps time is moving too quickly, but some feel neitherThe Last of UsnorBloodbornereally need to be remade.The Last of Usis a bit more understandable, it being a PS3 game, but either way, Bluepoint will likely knock it out of the park, whatever its next project is.
Bloodborneis available on PS4.
