Bloodborne Remake Was Pitched By Bluepoint Games But Rejected By FromSoftware: Report

Almost a decade after its launch, Bloodborne is still one of the most requested PlayStation exclusives to receive a remake or improvements in performance. Now, a new report states that behind the scenes a remake was heavily considered. According to the report's claim, Bluepoint Games (the devs behind the acclaimed Demon’s Souls remake) pitched in early 2025 for a Bloodborne remake and developed it as well. The proposal was ultimately declined, despite internal interest (as evidenced by the growing range of potential crossovers that could bring on a remake), adding to long-waiting fans' disappointment that modern technology didn't bring us an update to this gothic horror classic.

Bluepoint’s Bloodborne Remake Pitch

It was published on October 9 2023 According to a new report by Jason Schreier over Bloomberg, Bluepoint Games pitched a remake of Bloodborne after Sony cancelled the studio’s then live service God of War project back in January 2025. While Sony felt the project was financially reasonable, FromSoftware is said to not have been interested in remaking the game at all.
