2015’s bloodborne is a beloved title, with the FromSoftware-developed PS4 exclusive being many fans’ favourite game from the studio. Despite this, we’ve seen nothing from the IP since its launch, with the game remaining locked to an uneven 30fps at just 1080p. Unfortunately, despite fan pleas, it seems things aren’t going to change, with insiders revealing that the ill-fated BluePoint Studios pitched Sony a Bloodborne remake before their closure – a pitch which was approved by Sony but rejected by FromSoft.

As reported by known industry insider Jason Schreier (paywalled), following the cancellation of BluePoint Games’ live-service God of War title, the studio pitched Sony a number of other potential projects. One of these was said to have been a remake of Bloodborne.

This would have made sense not only due to the fact that BluePoint Games were known best for their remakes, but also because their most recent remake was literally for Demon’s Souls – the first Soulsborne title developed by FromSoftware.

In a surprise reveal, Schreier claimed that “In early 2025, when Bluepoint again pitched the idea of Bloodborne remake, the studio was told that the numbers made sense but FromSoftware didn't want it to happen, according to people familiar with the process.”

While Sony owns the Bloodborne IP, the 2015 title was the result of a close collaboration between PlayStation and FromSoft. Additionally, Bloodborne as a game is near to Miyazaki’s heart, with the FromSoft head previously stating that the title is “the strongest reflection of my type of flavouring of a game that one can experience.”

Regardless, while a remake wouldn’t have been necessary, it makes little sense that Bloodborne has yet to receive a remaster consisting of a higher frame rate and increased resolution – especially as it would maintain all of Miyazaki’s work. For now, it seems the only way to experience an enhanced Bloodborne will be through emulation on PC.

It's another closure that is difficult to wrap your head around, but a new report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has just shined a bit more light on how things broke down, and also revealed that Bluepoint had indeed pitched the game that everyone wanted them to make: a Bloodborne Remake. Only for it to get shut down by FromSoftware. You're likely wondering how that even works, because while […]
