The closure of Bluepoint Games by Sony further reduces the chances of a remake of The developer, known for high-quality remakes like Demon’s Souls for PS5, Shadow of the Colossus and Uncharted: God of War that Bluepoint worked on, leaving the studio without an approved new title after a year of internal pitches.
The announcement came to light in February 2026, adding to the frustration of the community that expected Bluepoint to be the ideal choice to modernize Bloodborne with improvements such as 60 fps, native 4K support, reduced loading times, and visual enhancements. The original game, released in 2015, maintains gameplay focused on aggressive combat, dual weapons and a gothic horror style, but runs locked at 30 fps in the previous generation. Mods created by fans and emulations have already demonstrated the potential for upgrades, but nothing official has progressed.
Sony has not publicly commented on plans for a remake of Bloodborne, as has FromSoftware. FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki acknowledged continued interest from gamers in 2024 interviews, highlighting positive memories of the title and satisfaction with the fanbase’s persistent passion.
Closing of Bluepoint impacts remake projects

Persistent demand for update of Bloodborne
Fans have been following the title for more than a decade, with constant petitions and discussions in online communities asking for a port for PS5 or PC. The game has sold millions of copies over the years, consolidating itself as one of the most influential in the soulslike genre.

Other studios specializing in remakes, such as Virtuos or Bloober Team, could be considered, but none have the same history with FromSoftware games that Bluepoint had.
Bluepoint remake history
The developer has built a reputation with projects that update classics for new generations. Shadow of the Colossus received a modern version on PS4, preserving the original artistic and mechanical essence.
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has compiled three titles with visual and performance improvements. Demon’s Souls marked the return of the franchise with a complete rebuild, serving as a technical showcase for the PS5.
These works positioned Bluepoint as a reference in the segment, which fueled speculation about Bloodborne.
Future possibilities for the game
Although the closure of Bluepoint lessens the odds, a remake is not completely ruled out. Sony retains rights to the property, and FromSoftware continues to focus on new projects.
Updates or ports could come from other internal or partner teams. The community continues to monitor official announcements at PlayStation events.
Fans react to the announcement
The news generated intense discussions on forums and networks, with many expressing disappointment at the loss of one of the main candidates to lead the project. Alguns highlight that the gap of more than 10 years without news increases uncertainty.
Others point to the original game’s continued success in sales and cultural influence. Demand remains high, but without concrete progress.
