- A reliable insider says Bluepoint Games pitched Bloodborne Remake to PlayStation last year.
- This pitch was not accepted, seemingly due to FromSoftware’s disagreement with the idea.
- Following Bluepoint Games’ demise, hopes for Bloodborne Remake have been largely shattered.
The sad state of Bloodborne hardly needs any introduction today. Following immeasurable demand for a remake, PlayStation has done nothing with the IP. In fact, even fans have done more for the game in recent years to preserve it with 60FPS and higher resolution support.
A new report reveals that the recently closed-down Bluepoint Games even went as far as to pitch Bloodborne Remake last year, but the pitch was shot down.
Why it matters: Bluepoint Games released Demon’s Souls Remake for the PS5 in 2020, so fans thought the studio was a natural fit for another remake of similar magnitude.
According to Jason Schrier’s latest report, Bloodborne Remake could have been greenlit last year. Following the cancellation of its live-service God of War project, Bluepoint Games approached PlayStation with the idea of remaking Bloodborne.
However, as Jason Schreir’s report mentions, the pitch was rejected, but not because PlayStation wasn’t on board with the idea. It is said that the gaming giant turned down the remake because FromSoftware didn’t want it to happen.
The studio was told that the numbers made sense but FromSoftware didn’t want it to happen.

Recently, another report noted that the team had pitched two remakes to PlayStation. Jason Schreir’s update confirms that one of these was indeed Bloodborne.
This statement is interesting since Hidetaka Miyazaki didn’t necessarily seem opposed to the idea when discussing it in a recent interview. It is also important to note that PlayStation ultimately owns the IP, giving it the right to have the final say in such a matter.
Perhaps the idea’s rejection is a sign of a potential disagreement between the two companies that could be ironed out with enough discussion.
With Bluepoint Games now shut down, there’s no telling when FromSoftware’s beloved title will be remade, if ever. There’s a small chance the team will jump on the opportunity itself, but for now, the Japanese studio has its hands full with future projects.
What do you think about FromSoftware being responsible for the lack of Bloodborne Remake? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
