Bloodborne 2 can wait – just give me a Bluepoint remake of the original game
Opinion | A hunter is a hunter, even in 60 FPS

In true Lovecraftian style, Bloodborne is a game that leaves many questions unanswered, giving us the opportunity to imagine our own outcomes and derive our own unique experiences. However, when it comes to the prospect of a potential Bloodborne 2, it's clear we're all crying out for more insight.
Sadly, the game's director Hidetaka Miyazaki isn't even in the position to port the original game to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PC, so a sequel hardly seems likely as it stands. But what about a remake? After all, we wouldn't technically need 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware for such a thing. In fact, I'd go as far as to argue we're better off without the studio.
When Bluepoint Games brought 2020's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Demon's Souls to PS5, the company took a rough jewel of an action-RPG and reverse-engineered it into a refined, current-gen launch title. From its staggering visual fidelity to its user-friendly additions, the developer found a way to capture the feel of FromSoftware's early work while accommodating the contemporary comforts we've come to expect from the medium. In fact, it was so good that Sony 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bought the studio. So, Sony: why not give 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bloodborne the same treatment?
Yharnam deserves a makeover
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bloodborne review: "Only a few minor bl﷽otche♐s spoil an otherwise immaculate picture"
Now I'm no business brain, but you only need to look at the reaction to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kai Cenat streaming it to know Bloodborne's popularity hasn't waned in the nine years since its release. The experience🉐 of first setting foot into Yharnam is a core gaming memory of mine, and one that could only benefit from a touch up. Even moꦡre so if it came to PC, too.
The g💟raphical overhaul Bluepoint could offer is an obvious selling point. The 🌼labyrinthine environment of Bloodborne is already a delight on the eyes, but imagine the level of detail the PS5 can provide? Just don't think about performing a visceral attack on a giant pig. Don't do it!
Besides the looks department, Bluepoint brought some other welღcome features to Demon's Souls. The photo mode, for instance, is brilliant, and lets us get the perfect snaps to chronicle our adventure through Boletaria. Now just imagine the action shots we could get of the Moon Presence in Bloodborne.
Then there are guide options, where 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS+ subscribers can fast travel in the game by selecting different trophy tip cards from the PS5 menu bar. Sure, you have to ditch your souls to use it, but the time you can save is worth it. It's so helpful that speedrunners exploit it to beat the game in less time tha༺n it takes most players to beat Phalanx.
Above all, Bluepoint dared to take Demon's Souls to another level by adding new playable content. The developer introduced new collectable Ceramic Coins, which can be traded (when you have enough) with Sparkly the Crow for a Rusted Key. This new item unlocks a room with the Penetrator's armor, one of the most aesthetically pleasing outfits in a FromSoftware title. Sure the armor was in the game before as the Penetraཧtor wears it, but Bluepoint made it into something you could dress your character with. It's a genius inclusion added in typical FromSoftware style, and it begs the question: what could the studio do if given🧔 the keys to Bloodborne?
We could instead hope for Bloodborne 2, and I'🌳m firmly in favor of an eldritch-horror-infested sequel, but I just can't see it happening. Miyazaki has repeatedly said it isn't up to him. If that's the case, and not a smokescreen to throw u𓂃s off the scent, why would the veteran developer be interested in returning to Yharnam?

While the original game remains a masterpiece to this very day, it's no bad thing to add even more shine to an already brilliant star, and Bluepoint has proof it can do just that. The decision is Sony's of course. All we can do is hope the publisher is granted the eyes to see what an e🧸xcellent idea a remake would be.

Ever since playing Bomberman ‘94 back when I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with video games and the way they transport players to pixelated paradises. Starting out in the meme mines of UNILAD Gaming back in 2018, I’ve made videos from reviews to interviews, and everything in between, for GAMINGbible, FGS and now GamesRไadar+. I’m also an experienced news and features writer, always willing to get my hot takes on the page. A fan of RPGs my whole life, I believe Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece, the Like a Dragon series is incredible, and Persona 5 Royal is the best game ever made.
