FromSoftware Blocked Bloodborne Remake by Bluepoint Games
Fans hoping for a Bloodborne remake may be disappointed to learn that a version developed by Bluepoint Games was reportedly rejected by FromSoftware, the original game’s creator. The news comes following the unexpected closure of Bluepoint Games by Sony, just five years after its acquisition.
Bluepoint’s Pitch and Sony’s Approval
Bluepoint Games, known for its successful remakes of Demon’s Souls for the PlayStation 5 and Shadow of the Colossus, pitched a Bloodborne remake to Sony Interactive Entertainment in early 2025. According to a report from Bloomberg , Sony was receptive to the idea. However, the project was ultimately turned down, not by Sony, but by FromSoftware itself.
FromSoftware’s Hesitation
Sources familiar with the process revealed that FromSoftware did not provide a specific reason for rejecting the remake. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier pointed to a previous interview with Shuhei Yoshida, former president of SIE Worldwide Studios for PlayStation, who theorized that FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki is deeply attached to Bloodborne. Yoshida suggested Miyazaki wants to potentially remake the game himself but is currently too busy with other projects and doesn’t want anyone else altering his creation.
Impact on Bluepoint Games
The rejection of the Bloodborne remake proved to be a significant setback for Bluepoint Games. The studio was unable to secure another project for over a year before ultimately being shuttered by Sony . This closure casts further doubt on the possibility of a Bloodborne remake in the near future.
Future of a Bloodborne Remake
While a remake by Bluepoint is now unlikely, the possibility of a Bloodborne remake hasn’t been entirely ruled out. Any future remake would likely require approval and significant oversight from FromSoftware. FromSoftware is currently occupied with Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 and a new Switch 2 exclusive game, The Duskbloods , suggesting a Bloodborne remake is not an immediate priority.
