The new report comes from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, who mentioned on his Games Mess Decides podcast that he’d “checked in on it (Bloodborne) relatively recently, and kinida continued to hear nothing is happening.” This was mentioned during a discussion about games being ported to PC, though it would stand to reason that if a Bloodborne remake launched on PC, it would also come to PS5. Either way, it’s important to take Grubb’s info with a massive grain of salt. He has successfully leaked quite a bit over the last several years, but no one’s information is always correct.
Bloodborne Remake Fan Reactions
As you’d expect, given the sad news, fans quickly jumped to Reddit to voice their displeasure. After all, they’ve been wanting this remake for nearly a decade, but for whatever reason, FromSoft and Sony haven’t been able to make it happen. As one Reddit user named charliegs1996 put it, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.”
That said, many fans are, somewhat sarcastically, clinging to their blind hope. It worked out for Hollow Knight: Silksong fans, after all. Redditor 418_I_am_a_teapot said, “‘Or that’s what they want us to believe, and there is a Bloodborne waiting to be announced on the next State of Play!’ Me, typing this after taking a massive amount of copium this morning.”
It’s clear fans online would love this remake; the question is, why hasn’t it happened? There’s the concern that the vocal online community might be a loud minority, and the remake wouldn’t sell well. Though the previously mentioned Silksong dealt with a similarly long road to release, and has already sold over four million copies. The online audience might represent only a small portion of video game fans, but they tend to show up for games they love.
