- FromSoft allegedly didn’t like Bluepoint Games’ work on the Demon’s Souls remake.
- No new is Bloodborne game is expected until things cool down between PlayStation and FromSoft, says insider.
- Previously, Miyazaki said that he would love a new Bloodborne entry but not until his schedule frees.
For years, fans have been demanding a Bloodborne remake, and one almost happened until it didn’t. Bluepoint Games had pitched a Bloodborne remake before their closure, and Sony accepted the pitch, but FromSoft barred it from happening.
Now, the reason behind FromSoft’s rejection has been revealed. It seems that the Souls genre creator didn’t like Bluepoint Games’ work with the Demon’s Souls remake, which is why a Bloodborne remake never happened under the now closed studio.
Why it matters: The prospect of a new Bloodborne release seems more unlikely with each passing day with so many obstacles internally between Sony and FromSoft.
Jeff Grub gave insight on the Bloodborne situation. Even though PlayStation holds the rights to the Bloodborne IP, FromSoft is a close partner with PlayStation and they wouldn’t want to further strain their relation.
That said, the insider did mention that things are heated between the both companies and nothing new from Bloodborne is expected until things cool down.
Regarding the relationship, Jeff wasn’t too optimistic about the situation and did mention the prospect of a new Bloodborne entry never happening. That said, Miyazaki wants to do something new with the IP but that won’t happen until his schedule is free.
As to why FromSoft didn’t like the Demon’s Souls remake, the real reason is unknown. FromSoft were the original developers behind the 2009 game and the 2020 remake didn’t bring significant changes; the core mechanics mostly stayed the same.
Anyhow, Bluepoint Games has now shutdown and it seems that the cancellation of the God of War GaaS game had already decided their future. None of their pitches got accepted later one whether if it was a Bloodborne remake, Ghost of Tsushima spin-off, or an updated version of 2016’s Shadow of the Colossus.
