Why hasn't PlayStation done anything new with Bloodborne? Shuhei Yoshida has a theory
It has been many years since we last heard anything about a new Bloodborne game, despite there clearly being demand for one. And I am not just talking about a brand new game under the Bloodborne banner. There hasn’t even been word of a remaster, despite several other PlayStation games such as The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn receiving a console refresh in the last few years.
Meanwhile, the likes of Days Gone and God of War (including sequel Ragnarök) have also seen a PC release, following their time as a PlayStation exclusive. But, the same can not be said for poor old Bloodborne, even though this is many a hunter’s dream.

During an interview with Kinda Funny Games, Yoshida was asked if we will ever see Bloodborne again, and with a nervous chuckle, Yoshida acknowledged this was a hot topic.
“Bloodborne is one of the most popular asks on my Twitter/X,” he replied. “And the people wonder why we haven’t really done anything… it should be easy, right?” He joked some fans have become “frustrated” by how many games PlayStation has remastered, and yet Bloodborne has not been one of them.
