Developed by FromSoftware, the game has amassed a cult following of fans eager to see more of the game\u2019s rich gothic aesthetic and fast-paced, hard-as-nails combat. However, despite the game\u2019s critical success and sales that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/bloodborne-sales-surprised-sony\/1100-6427389\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surpassed Sony\u2019s expectations<\/a>, nothing more has been done with the IP (which is owned by Sony).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1122\" height=\"629\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1122px) 100vw, 1122px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250115-42865-001.jpeg\" alt=\"FromSoftware Bloodborne\" class=\"wp-image-42870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250115-42865-001.jpeg 1122w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250115-42865-001-380x213.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250115-42865-001-768x431.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/jMsGB2PItes?si=-S4JnQ0nFGk4sg2w&amp;t=5574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extensive interview<\/a> with Kinda Funny Games on YouTube (cited by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Genki_JPN\/status\/1879718481882652918\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genki on X<\/a>), Yoshida put forward a theory on why Bloodborne hasn\u2019t received a follow-up. He mentions that a Bloodborne remake\/sequel is the game that he receives the most requests about (followed by titles like Legend of the Dragoon and Apex Legends). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People wonder why we haven&#8217;t really done anything. (&#8230;) My theory is, because I remember Miyazaki-san really loved Bloodborne, what he created.\u201d Yoshida mused. \u201cSo, I think he is interested but he is so successful and he is so busy, so he cannot do it himself. But he doesn&#8217;t want anyone else to touch it. So that&#8217;s my theory. And the PlayStation team respect his wish. So that is my guess. I am not revealing any secret information.&#8221; Yoshida does add a caveat that he is no longer involved in first party game production, so he doesn\u2019t really know what is going on with the IP at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In slight contrast to this statement, however, Miyazaki was previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/fromsoftwares-miyazaki-responds-to-calls-for-bloodborne-remake-on-ps5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interviewed by IGN<\/a> about the possibility of a Bloodborne remake on PS5. He mentioned that it wasn\u2019t his place to talk about future Bloodborne releases, adding that \u201cWe simply don\u2019t own the IP at FromSoftware.\u201d Therefore, it seems that the decision may have to come down from Sony.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony&#8217;s Shuhei Yoshida shares his opinion on why a sequel or remaster to FromSoftware&#8217;s PS4 hit Bloodborne has yet to be made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":42868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-42865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
