Bloomberg reports Bluepoint pitched a Bloodborne remake in early 2025; Sony appeared to approve, but FromSoftware reportedly vetoed the project, with Hidetaka Miyazaki preferring to oversee a remake himself, making one unlikely in the near future.
Bloomberg reports Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake in early 2025, but FromSoftware reportedly rejected it; the piece also notes Bluepoint’s broader struggles within Sony, including a canceled God of War live-service project and other pitched remakes like Shadow of the Colossus that never got greenlit. By February 2026 the studio had been without a new project for over a year and announced its closure, with staff exploring opportunities elsewhere.
Bloomberg reports Bluepoint pitched a Bloodborne remake to FromSoftware in early 2025; FromSoftware reportedly declined the project, not Sony. Afterward, Bluepoint allegedly proposed updates like Shadow of the Colossus and a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off, both reportedly turned down, with the report noting Sony had recently shut Bluepoint down.
Indie developer Maxime Foulquier says Sony sent a March 2025 cease-and-desist letter (via DLA Piper) to halt his Bloodborne: Top Down Arena, an isometric Diablo-like fan game set in the Bloodborne universe. Sony asserts ownership of Bloodborne IP and trademarks across multiple regions; the developer says he repurposed assets but planned to discuss the letter once the game was ready. The move follows past actions against fan projects (e.g., Bloodborne Kart) and comes as Bluepoint Games closes; Bloodborne remains a PS4 exclusive with no remake/remaster in sight.
Sony’s shutdown of Bluepoint Games has fans frustrated as the studio behind Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus remakes exits, fueling talk of a Bloodborne remake while Sony simultaneously issues a cease-and-desist to a fan project for Bloodborne, suggesting IP enforcement even amid uncertainty about future Bloodborne plans.
Sony reportedly shut down a Bloodborne remake fan project (Bloodborne: Top Down Arena) and, amid Bluepoint Games' closure, casts doubt on an official remake/remaster, while players explore PC emulation options like shadPS4 to run Bloodborne on modern hardware; trademark concerns and resource limits complicate fan efforts.
Digital Foundry shows Bloodborne via ShadPS4 on the ROG Xbox Ally X hitting 50–70 FPS at 720p (with shader caching and power tweaks), beating PS4/PS5 back-compat; at 1080p it runs ~33–40 FPS. Strix Halo on a GPD Win 5 with higher power can push 1080p toward 60 FPS, suggesting handheld emulation can approach native performance with the right hardware and settings.
Bloodborne can now run on PC via the ShadPS4 emulator at up to 4K60 with unlocked frame rates and graphics mods. The setup requires specific emulator tweaks (FIFO v-sync, async logging, DRAM increase, high v-blank frequency) and patches (tasksplit, increased graphics heap sizes, Intel SFX workarounds), plus optional mods like Shadows of the Hunt for real-time dynamic shadows. Shader caching reduces initial stutter, and 4K60 is achievable on high-end GPUs (e.g., RTX 4080) while 1080p–1440p scaling remains viable on lesser cards. The project is still a work in progress with occasional glitches, so a 120fps cap is recommended for stability until more fixes arrive.
Bloodborne is a “special game” to Hidetaka Miyazaki and “the strongest reflection” of his personal approach to game design, shaped by a challenging development cycle and his own storytelling, world-building, and gameplay ideas. The piece underscores Bloodborne’s enduring cult appeal, its PS4 exclusivity, and fan interest in a remake or PC port, while noting that a sequel remains unconfirmed.
