One of the most-requested remakes or remasters for years now is Bloodborne. FromSoftware’s gothic, dystopian Soulslike is a classic, and Shuhei Yoshida can’t understand why no one has modernized it further.
Bloodborne ‘Remastered’ is an unofficial mod, and it makes the game play and look better than it ever has.
In terms of an official coat of paint, we’re as close to it now as we were a few years ago—nowhere.
Bloodborne Remaster Needs to Happen
We have two Bloodborne movies in development, but no game remaster or remake.
The closest we’ve been is learning that Bluepoint pitched a Bloodborne remake before the team was shut down.

Industry legend Shuhei Yoshida has now weighed in on the game, and has tried to make sense of the situation through a CEDEC 2026 Keynote Speech Broadcast (via Genki):
“The game [Bloodborne] has a lot of fans all over the world, but there’s no PS5 version. PlayStation first-party teams are constantly releasing remasters and such, why aren’t they releasing this one?! A PC version hasn’t been released, ‘why hasn’t it been released?!’ is what I also get asked often. Well, that is considered a mystery. Yes. So, it might be released in the future, or it might not. A sequel might be made, or it might not. As a fan, I really hope it does get released.”
The Demon’s Souls Remake was a success, so it does beggar belief as to why a Bloddborne Remake hasn’t happened yet, and seemingly won’t, if things carry on.
All we can do is cross every finger and toe and hope that an official Bloodborne Remake project is greenlit, and we don’t all have to spend all day in our mental Hunter’s Dream picturing it.
