Sony was ready to approve a Bloodborne remake, but FromSoftware turned it down

It might finally be time to accept that a Bloodborne remake isn’t happening, at least not anytime soon. According to a report from Bloomberg, the project almost happened, but FromSoftware are the ones that ultimately turned it down.

A Bloodborne remake has been demanded by fans for so long that Sony’s remaster studio, Bluepoint, figured it was inevitable that it would be given the job, especially after its very successful Demon’s Souls remake in 2020. But Sony tasked the studio with making a live service God of War game instead.

Bloomberg doesn’t have the details on why FromSoft turned it down, but points to a comment by former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida in an interview with Kinda Funny about FromSoft president Hidetaka Miyazaki wanting it to happen, but not wanting “anyone else to touch it.” Miyazaki has previously said he’s not “opposed” to a PC port of Bloodborne, and acknowledged that other FromSoft developers want to make one, but if Miyazaki is insistent on doing it himself, Yoshida believes Sony would respect his wishes even though it owns the rights to the game.

Sony and FromSoft’s partnership for Bloodborne might’ve been a sign of some kind of resolution between the two, or merely a compromise, if it’s true that Miyazaki doesn’t trust it enough to handle a remake. Miyazaki told Game Informer earlier this year that “Bloodborne is a special game for me,” and that it’s “perhaps the strongest reflection of my type of flavoring of a game that one can experience.”
