Bluepoint Pitched A Bloodborne Remake Last Year, But FromSoftware Said No

"In early 2025, when Bluepoint again pitched the idea of Bloodborne remake, the studio was told that the numbers made sense but FromSoftware didn't want it to happen, according to people familiar with the process."

"Sony owns the IP outright and is free to do whatever it wants the game, whether it's remake it, remaster it or make a sequel. FromSoftware cannot do anything with the game without Sony's permission. And yet it's apparently FromSoftWare that vetoed the remake."

Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake to Sony multiple times, with the studio appearing ideally suited for the project given fan demand. In early 2025, when Bluepoint proposed the remake again, Sony found the financial projections sound but FromSoftware objected to the project proceeding. Despite Sony owning the Bloodborne intellectual property outright and having full authority over the franchise, FromSoftware exercised veto power over the remake. This rejection occurred before Sony's subsequent closure of Bluepoint. The decision highlights FromSoftware's unexpected influence over a property it does not own, preventing a project that could have potentially altered Bluepoint's fate.
