Bluepoint's Bloodborne Remake Pitch Was Turned Down by FromSoftware: Report

"Bluepoint then pitched a Bloodborne remake in early 2025, and was told that the numbers "made sense," but FromSoftware didn't want the remake to happen, the report claimed citing sources familiar with the matter."

"The game would have followed Kratos' son, Atreus, as he fell into Greek hell, Hades, and battled his way out through the realm. The live service game reportedly included a cooperative gameplay component. Bluepoint, however, struggled with the project, the report claimed."

"Bluepoint Games had previously developed a remake of Demon's Souls, another FromSoftware title. The game was released as a launch title for the PS5 and received widespread acclaim."

Bluepoint Games pitched a remake of FromSoftware's Bloodborne to Sony in early 2025 after the studio's live service God of War project was cancelled. The live service game, which would have followed Atreus into Greek hell with cooperative gameplay, struggled in development and was cancelled by Sony in January 2025 as part of a broader retreat from live service games. While Sony found the Bloodborne remake financially viable, FromSoftware opposed the project. Bluepoint subsequently pitched other ideas to Sony, but all were rejected. Sony ultimately decided to close the studio, which it had acquired in 2021. Bluepoint had previously developed a critically acclaimed Demon's Souls remake for PS5.
