So, if we can expect Sony not to oversaturate the market when it comes to both FromSoftware games and PC releases, the earliest we could expect a Bloodborne remaster is late 2022. Uncharted isn't due out on PC (and PS5) until 2022, while Sony didn't even begin bringing games to PC until the end of 2019, only four years after Bloodborne's original release and only a year out from their Demon's Soul Remake. The games they tend to bring over to PC aren't iconic modern PlayStation franchises, outside of the upcoming Uncharted PC release, but are rather older entries in newer IP, like Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, or Detroit: Become Human.īloodborne is another perfect candidate for a PC release, but Sony seems dedicated to spacing out these releases. Sony continues to release once-exclusive games on PC and has pledged to keep doing so.

Why then, a year after the release of Demon's Souls Remake, is there no word on a Bloodborne remaster with Bluepoint also on record as developing their first original IP as their next project and not a Bloodborne remaster? No doubt, any work on such a project would be set back by COVID. And both Miyazaki's game-direction track record as well as FromSoftware's larger catalog suggest a relative disinterest in developing sequels as opposed to working on new IP.Įven if FromSoftware had the time, resources, and creative vision to develop Bloodborne 2, Sony isn't likely to greenlight a Bloodborne sequel: If Sony wanted to give Bloodborne a second life, a simple remaster or port of the game would sell extremely well, while a new deal with FromSoftware would ideally be for a PS5 exclusive IP at the scale of Elden Ring.

Whether it's a sequel, a remake, a remaster, more DLC, a port, or whatever else, it'll need Sony's support. ![]() ![]() This won't come as a surprise to many, since Bloodborne like Demon's Souls is a PlayStation exclusive, but unfortunately this means that it isn't FromSoftware's call as to whether or not more Bloodborne content comes out. Like the very first Souls game ever, Demon's Souls, Sony actually owns the larger Bloodborne intellectual property.
