- Sony is making an R-rated Bloodborne animated film in collaboration with YouTuber JackSepticEye.
- The film will stay true to the gory spirit of the game and is being co-produced by Lyrical Animation.
- JackSepticEye also assured fans he will deliver the best possible adaptation of the RPG.
It has been over a decade since Bloodborne came out back in 2014. However, Sony and FromSoftware have still not remade or remastered the title for current-gen consoles or PC. Fans are still holding out hope despite many insiders suggesting the prospect of a remake is very low.
Sony’s Bluepoint did pitch a Bloodborne remake to FromSoftware, but it was rejected due to the studio’s unsatisfactory work on the Demon’s Souls remake. Now, we might not be getting a game anytime soon, but an animated film based on the RPG is officially in the works.
Why it matters: Even though most players would prefer a video game, a film adaptation is still a sign that the IP could be in line for a revival at Sony.
As revealed by Variety, Sony Pictures is developing an animated feature film based on Bloodborne in collaboration with YouTuber JackSepticEye. Announced at CinemaCon, the project will be R-rated as per Sony and will stay true to the carnage and gory spirit of the 2014 video game.
PlayStation Productions is co-producing the film with media company Lyrical Animation, which is also working on the Death Stranding animated film. Co-producer JackSepticEye took to Reddit to address Bloodborne fans, saying he is incredibly excited to work on the movie.
The YouTuber stated that he will make sure this is the best possible adaptation of Bloodborne, as the RPG is his favorite game, and he realises how passionate its fans are. He also acknowledged that Bloodborne players are “hungry for more,” addressing the lack of any remake or sequel project based on the IP.
Historically, Sony has always released a game alongside one of its movies and TV shows. Therefore, there could be a possibility that FromSoftware has finally decided to listen to one of the 10 Bloodborne pitches.
