The Bloodborne community's long-held desire for a remastered edition of the FromSoftware classic has reached fever pitch following recent Instagram activity. Speculation is rampant, fueled by suggestive posts from both FromSoftware and PlayStation Italia.
Instagram Posts Reignite Bloodborne Remaster Hype
A Beloved Game Deserves a Modern Update
Bloodborne, the critically acclaimed 2015 RPG, remains a fan favorite. Many players eagerly await the chance to revisit Yharnam on modern consoles. While no official announcement has been made, recent Instagram posts have ignited the flames of anticipation.
On August 24th, FromSoftware shared three images featuring the game's title and the hashtag "#bloodborne," showcasing iconic locations and characters like Djura. PlayStation Italia followed suit on August 17th with a similar post, prompting a flood of comments expressing the community's desire for a remaster, even suggesting a PC port.
While these posts could simply be nostalgic nods, the Bloodborne community, particularly on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), is meticulously analyzing every detail for clues of a potential remaster.
The Hunt Continues: Bloodborne on Modern Platforms
Released exclusively for PS4 in 2015, Bloodborne boasts a dedicated fanbase and widespread critical acclaim. Yet, a sequel or remaster remains elusive. The 2020 Demon's Souls remake serves as a precedent, but the lengthy development time for that project fuels concerns about a potential extended wait for Bloodborne. As the game's tenth anniversary approaches, anticipation is at an all-time high.
Director Hidetaka Miyazaki, in interviews with Eurogamer and IGN earlier this year, hinted at the potential benefits of a remaster, emphasizing improved accessibility on modern hardware. However, he clarified that FromSoftware doesn't hold the IP rights, leaving the final decision in Sony's hands.
Miyazaki's comments, while encouraging, highlight the complexities of the situation. Unlike Elden Ring, Bloodborne's publishing rights are held by Sony, making the future of a potential remaster uncertain.
The passionate Bloodborne community continues to hope for a remaster. Despite the game's success, its availability remains limited to the PS4. Whether the current speculation translates into reality remains to be seen.
