Maybe it's time to accept the real Bloodborne remake is the friends we made along the way, following report FromSoftware said no to one

I'm sure they'll find time to make their own PC port before our universe implodes

Bloodborne. It's still not on PC. Perhaps a remake might bring it to PC. Ah. Nuts. Original developers FromSoftware reportedly turned down a Bloodborne remake pitch from recently shuttered PlayStation studio Bluepoint Games last year.

That's according to a report from Bloomberg blogger Jason Schreier delving into the circumstances surrounding the closure of Demon's Souls remake developers Bluepoint. The report claims that Bluepoint pitched being allowed to work on a Bloodborne remakea following the cancellation of their previous project, a God of War live-service game, in January last year.

However, the studio were reportedly told that while their proposal would get a thumbs up from a financial spreadsheets perspective, original Bloodborne devs FromSoftware didn't want it to happen. Thus, it wasn't greenlit, leaving Bluepoint to unsuccessfully pitch a number of other projects in the year leading up to their shuttering.

As Bloomberg pointed out, this isn't the first time the idea of FromSoft themselves or specifically director Hidetaka Miyazaki not wanting another studio to remake Bloodborne has been floated. Ex-PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida, who's since gone on to voice a duck in Promise Mascot Agency, talked about it on the Kinda Funny Gamescast last year.

"Miyazaki-san really, really loved Bloodborne, what he created [with it], and so I think he's interested, but he's so successful and he's so busy," Yoshida said, stressing that this was just a personal theory of his. "So, he doesn't want - he cannot do it himself, but he doesn't want anyone else to touch it. So that's my theory and that the PlayStation team respect his wish." For what it's worth, Miyazaki said back in June 2024 that a PC port of the game is "nothing I'm opposed to".

On the one hand, wanting to be hands-on with any reinterpretation of something you created is totally understandable. On the other, FromSoft and Miyazaki's hands have been full with the likes of Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods in recent years, with no clear sign they plan to dip away from making new games to work on a remake any time soon. Here's hoping they do, however, as the headline of this article's one I'm entirely open to having look silly in a few years time if it means those who've patiently awaited a remake getting what they want. Bonus points if said remake does do that PC portage.
