This is regarding From Software and doesn't rule out that Bluepoint could be working on something regarding the IP.

According to the dude who leaked the Summer Game Fest Reveal Trailer for Elden Ring (Omnipotent), among other things related to FS, there is nothing related to Bloodborne in development.

[dotnotbot]

Well, I assumed it was obvious that FS wouldn't be working on this remaster, just like they outsourced DS1.

Edit: Nevermind, I just read the whole thing. That's sad.

 

[SlimySnake]

I think after six years of no BB Pro patch, remaster, remake, it's fair to say there was nothing ever in development.

 

[rofif]

4k60 cant be that hard

 

[emivita]

Just make a 60 fps patch for PS5 and go with it. How much would it cost? There's already a complete edition with DLCs (even a physical version) and the game is already backwards compatible. Just make the patch, for free, and for the players.

 

[skit_data]

Well, I never expected them to either tbh.

Edit: I mean From Software themselves. Any remaster, sequel or port would be done by Bluepoint or possibly Nixxes when it comes to port/PS5 version.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

BB2 by bluepoint, give me a break.

It would cost some work, unfortunately.



As a simple unlock to 60fps would break animations.

[sncvsrtoip]

so maybe bluepoint making mgs remake ? if so good news for me at least ;d

 

[Airbus Jr]

Bloodborne 2 news fromsoft no

Bloodborne 2 news from bluepoint yes

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

It’s not going to happen, Elden Ring is out soon be happy about that lol

 

[TintoConCasera]

So it'll be stuck forever in 30fps land? That would be sad, game deserves better.

 

[Thirty7ven]

The game is such a classic that Sony probably isn’t interested in messing with it atm.

Took over 10 years for Demon Souls, expect the same for Bloodborne..

 

[ToxicWeeb]

Doesn't rule out that Bluepoint could be working on something regarding the IP.

Oh no, please baby Jesus protect us from evil.

 

[Airbus Jr]

BB2 by bluepoint, give me a break.

Bloodborne 2 with graphics look like demon souls remake

Im in

Expect a remake as a launch title for PS6.

Jank Engine.

Bloodborne 2 news fromsoft no

Bloodborne 2 news from bluepoint yes

Why would you want a sequel developed by a different team that also happens to have almost no experience when it comes to developing games from scratch?

You are probably right.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Why would FS be required here? They can fuck off. Ball's on Sonys court its up to them to decide. Just give Nixxes the good to go.

 

[Faithless83]

Some things are better kept secrets than others, who knows...
A single guy did it on PS4 pro using mods, it surely is possible but it needs some work, not the regular "uncapped framerrate" and boom.

 

[Kacho]

I don’t think anyone is expecting From to go back and port this to PC. If anyone does it it’s going to be Nixxes.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

He said never say never, so there's hope!

 

[Bartski]

 

[DenchDeckard]

I would love to know the reasons that this never happened. it just seems crazy at this point.

Surely, there must be some legal reasons or something?

Maybe something to do with using FromSofts engine and code? I have absolutely no idea.

It only sold around 2 mil copies

nah i'll pass if it's bluepoint only

 

[haxan7]

Good. Leave Bloodborne alone.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I wonder how much would it sell on PC. The thrist is there, but maybe is more of an echo chamber thing than lots of people actually wanting to play it.

Would be fun if it sold more on PC than PS4.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

So, FromSoft is not working on one, but one might still exist.

That’s effectively what I had reasoned out anyway.

 

[TrueLegend]

I am gonna leave a comment just to make everybody look back and laugh back at this Buffon when the bloodborne remaster comes out.

 

[Airbus Jr]

I have no idea but thats the circulating news ( that bluepoint is the one doing bloodborne 2)

 

[Fbh]

To be fair, aside from a sequel I wouldn't expect FROM to be involved in anything else related to Bloodborne. IF Sony makes a port, remaster or remake it will probably be done by a different studio.

With that said, I always had doubts about these rumors because the game didn't sell incredible numbers and Sony has shown little to no interest in it after it launched. They didn't even give it a basic resolution increase on Ps4 Pro

 

[MiguelItUp]

A part of me still feels it's possible considering the attention we've seen given to other titles, especially PS titles that have hit PC. But who knows, anything is possible.

I'm never going to marry the idea of it happening, though I'd love for it to. But on the bright side, if it never does, emulation can and will certainly help with that in the not too distant future, lol.

It would sell INCREDIBLY well, we all know it would, haha. I think that's the part that's the hardest to understand. In a world where a Days Gone port exists, it's weird to me to think that Bloodborne wouldn't. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

I'm not even a "I WANT IT ON PC!" person, I mean, that'd be cool and all. But I'd be totally fine with a 60fps patch, a remaster that's console only, etc. I just want a legitimate 60fps version. I could buy a PS4 Pro and get the mod, but man, I want to believe, lmao.

 

[Freeman76]

Good. Its OK to have a standalone game that doesnt turn into a series now and then. Makes it even more of a cult classic then.

 

[Mentat02]

 

[TintoConCasera]

Ugh, I dunno man... It might be a good game, but I doubt it will have the same feeling as the original one made by FS.

 

[Angelcurio]

I really can't understand how SIE leadership can be so tone deaf with fans request. A Patch would cost money, yes, but would also revitalize somewhat the game and drive a couple of sales of the base game and dlc. And that's not even mentioning the whole PC market that its actually being left out of this game.

When you see things like this, or them completely ignoring the support and subsequent sale of BC titles, it's like a store refusing to sale the things that their clients want, or an Ice Cream truck not carrying the flavors that are being requested by their clients.

Then, on the other side of the street, you have Nintendo reselling all their Wii U titles at full price.

 

[emivita]

It would cost some work, unfortunately.

Thanks, didn't know about that. Developing BB with only 30 FPS in mind wasn't a great idea, I suppose. Just curious if the same extra work was needed for Dark Souls 1 when they ported it on PC.

 

[YCoCg]

Why not just buy the modders patch and push it as a PS5 patch? He fixed all the frame timing stuff and did all the hard work, just take that, change the resolution back to 1080p or even 1440p/2160p and bam free upgrade that will satsify most people.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

It only sold around 2 mil copies

This number is extremely outdated i think?

 

[Vognerful]

I don’t know why you guys are acting surprised, the Nvidia leaks did not have it in the database.

I want to believe the modder would actually make it work for the PS5. I'm not sure what could be successfully done outside of his hands. To my knowledge, no one has made it work outside of the PS4 pro.

Edit: JUST saw that it DOES exist. Hmm... I'm gonna be looking into this.

While the Nvidia leak apparently provided some legitimate info, it's not like it contained everything, lmao.

 

[kingpotato]

I always thought the idea of a full remaster was silly given the age of the title. However, I didn't really see anything in the original post that would indicate that Sony isn't possibly looking at a port or current gen patch, just that From isn't involved. I know it's not a high priority, but it's still possible, or did I miss something?

I really can't understand how SIE leadership can be so tone deaf with fans request.

I don't get the impression they are tone deaf, they just can't do everything at once. Look at shadow of the colossus and last guardian. Look at Final Fantasy remake. I think they recognized and responded in those cases and the same could be true here. Just because they don't have it happening now doesn't mean it is off the table.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Just enhance the current game with 60fps and add HDR.
I'd pay the stupid (anti consumer) upgrade fee Sony charges if need be.

None of this talks about Bluepoint. Who supposedly are making Bloodborne 2, and a new IP.

 

[Danjin44]

Why would you want a sequel developed by a different team that also happens to have almost no experience when it comes to developing games from scratch?

Because logic in GAF is if they can make high tech graphics they automatically become better game designers than FROM.
