FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki has finally responded to fans' demands for a remake of Bloodborne, but there is a catch. As one of the highest-rated Soulsborne games of all time, Bloodborne enjoys a loyal fanbase, and players have been eagerly waiting to see more from the franchise for years.
While games like Elden Ring have elevated the Soulsborne genre to a new pedestal, Bloodborne's narrative, which was infused with Lovecraftian horror themes, is still considered the best by many. Over the years, fans have been requesting a PC port of Bloodborne, which despite several rumors, never ended up materializing. With the launch of the PlayStation 5, fans were hoping that they would at least get a remake if not a sequel, but that hasn't happened yet.
In an interview with Eurogamer, FromSoftware President Hidetaka Miyazaki expressed his gratitude towards the unwavering passion of the fanbase. Miyazaki states, «It is a title we hold very dear and just as much as our fans. It does make me very happy to see that there are still so many people passionate about it.” However, upon being asked about the possibility of a remake, he apologizes and refuses to make any comment.
Reflecting on the emotional connection to the game, he shares a heartfelt sentiment about the impact the game had on his team. Adding on to that, he once again appreciates the love Bloodborne has received from the community over the years.
Fans might not be too optimistic after Miyazaki's recent comments, as he also highlighted that the remake is only justified if there is a big enough jump in the hardware prowess between generations. „I think having new hardware is definitely a part of what gives these remakes value, things you weren't able to achieve on previous generations of hardware” he elaborates. While Miyazaki didn't specify it, he was possibly hinting toward Demon's Souls, which was remade for PlayStation 5, after being originally launched for the PlayStation 3 all the way back in 2009. This is further suggested in his subsequent comments, where he weighs upon how accessibility can be a deciding factor for remakes. “I think that accessibility is important. I think that can be the driving force between bringing an old game to a new platform,» he said
«I think that accessibility is important. I think that can be the driving force between bringing an old game to a new platform»
The PlayStation 5 might not quite tick Miyazaki's boxes to justify a remake both in terms of accessibility, considering that Bloodborne runs quite well on the PlayStation 5, or in terms of a hardware jump as significant as what Demon's Souls witnessed. That being said, it has definitely got a part of the community excited — the avid PC fans of the Soulsborne genre, who

It was recently revealed that Return to Silent Hill – a new movie based on Silent Hill 2 – has finished filming. Yeah, even though it has flown a bit under the radar, a new Silent Hill movie based on the events of Silent Hill 2 has been in the works for a while, and I’m cautiously optimistic about it.
FromSoftware director Hidetaka Miyazaki would love to make more games that are as big as Elden Ring, which is sure to be music to the ears of many fans.
Despite playing the game for over 1,000 hours, anElden Ring player was quite surprised when they encountered a boss for the first time in the game. While one might think it was simply an oversight, it seems like they are not the only player in the Elden Ring community who have missed it.
Amidst widespread layoffs, rising development costs, increasingly protracted development cycles, and more, the games industry is looking more destabilized than it has in a long time, but some studios seem to be immune to that. One prominent example is Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, a studio that has not only not had to resort to laying off staff, but is actually growing increasingly larger, and continues to put out universally acclaimed, commercially successful titles at a rate that has, frankly, been startling.
FromSoftware is eager to keep making Armored Core games, although another entry in the franchise won't see the light of day anytime soon. This teaser hinting at the company's future plans was offered as part of a recent retrospective on Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.
Just when fans thought they had explored everything in The Lands Between and were gearing up for their next journey in Elden Ring, FromSoftware has revealed that there is a secret yet to be discovered. In the past few days, the Elden Ring community has been parsing the Shadow of Erdtree DLC trailer for more lore-related hints, but it seems like there is some work left to be done in the base game as well.
While the wait for news on Elden Ring or the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC might've been excruciating for FromSoftware's most dedicated fans, the studio has actually managed to pump out AAA games at a remarkable pace given how beloved every release tends to be. Creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki says the key to success is a well-managed studio filled with developers who are great at what they do and put in the best position for success.
The Bloodborne community is the equivalent of a dog losing its absolute mind whenever it catches wind of a remaster or PC port of its beloved title. “Bloodborne!? Bloodborne! BLOODBOOOOOOOOOORNE!” Such was the case when the FromSoftware darling was brought up with director Hidetaka Miyazaki during the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC reveal.
The folks over at FromSoftware have made new headlines this week, all thanks to a recent trailer drop. Elden Ring fans were treated to a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Shadows of the Erdtree. This would be DLC for their behemoth of a hit, Elden Ring. But for some fans, there might be some hope that Armored Core might not become a dormant franchise again. Fortunately, this franchise doesn’t look like it will be shelved for the long haul.
Elden Ring director and FromSoftware studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki has commented on the "Souls series" and "SoulsBorne" monikers for the developer's games.
