The Ultimate Bloodborne Remake: Bluepoint's Vision Will Exceed Your Wildest Dreams

Highlights

Speculation has focused on FromSoftware's collaboration with Bluepoint Games as a potential avenue for the remake.

The high demand for a Bloodborne remake remains strong, given the success of titles like Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Bluepoint Games, known for their expertise in remastering and remaking classic PlayStation titles, is a strong choice for taking on the task.

One of the most desired remakes or remasters among fans is Bloodborne, a hit exclusive game for PS4 developed by FromSoftware. Rumors of a modern release for the game have been circulating frequently. While some players argue that Bloodborne doesn't require a remake and that its original 2015 version still holds up today, others can't help but long for an updated version with improved graphics for the current era. Although nothing has been confirmed, there is a possibility that a Bloodborne remake could be developed by Bluepoint Games, based on their past collaboration with FromSoftware.

Over the past few years, the Soulslike genre has seen exponential growth with new entries ranging from indie to AAA titles being released every year. Major titles like Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice have even won Game of the Year in their respective release years. Despite being over eight years old, many fans still consider Bloodborne as one of the best games in the genre. While FromSoftware is likely focused on developing the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring, a Bloodborne remake from Bluepoint Games is still a possibility.

Now is the Perfect Time for a Bloodborne Remake from Bluepoint

Bluepoint Games has gained recognition for their skill in remastering and remaking beloved games from the PlayStation library. Some notable examples include Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, the Shadow of the Colossus remake, and Gravity Rush Remastered for the PS4, as well as the God of War Collection and the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection for the PS3. Given their impressive track record, it seems highly likely that Bloodborne, a PS4 exclusive, could be the next game to receive a similar remake from Bluepoint.

One of the main reasons why Bluepoint is well-suited to tackle the remake of Bloodborne is their outstanding work on another FromSoftware classic, Demon's Souls. Serving as a launch title for the PS5, Bluepoint successfully transformed the original PS3 game into a truly current-gen experience. The visuals, gameplay mechanics, and even the integration of the DualSense controller's haptic feedback all contribute to making the Demon's Souls remake one of the most visually breathtaking experiences on the PS5.

It has been three years since the release of the Demon's Souls remake, aligning with Bluepoint's release timeline. This suggests that the studio is nearing completion of their current project. With the popularity of the Soulslike genre, a Bloodborne remake would be incredibly exciting. Following a successful year for Soulslikes, including games like Remnant 2, Lies of P, and the upcoming Lords of the Fallen, the announcement of a highly anticipated remake like Bloodborne would be the perfect addition for fans. The icing on the cake would be if Bluepoint was the developer behind it.

However, there is a potential drawback to a Bluepoint-developed Bloodborne remake - its exclusivity to PS5. Bluepoint's association with PlayStation Studios and Bloodborne's original exclusivity to PlayStation make it unlikely that the remake would be multi-platform. While there is a possibility that the game could be released on PC, considering the pattern of Bluepoint's previous major games not being available on PC, the chances of a Bloodborne remake reaching the platform are not promising, despite the dream it would be for many eager players.

Bloodborne is available for PS4.
