Bloodborne Was In The Works For PC And PS5 "At One Point"

PlayStation's most recent State of Play has thoroughly depressed Bloodborne fans once again, with a remaster of Until Dawn being revealed for PS5 and PC really twisting the knife. It's caused a lot more distress among Bloodborne fans than usual, but something that will probably cause even more pain is some new comments from former Game Informer and Fanbyte senior editor Imran Khan.

Following a claim from insider Lance McDonald that a PC and PS5 port of Dreams was scrapped by PlayStation close to release, one dubious ResetEra user questioned the information and McDonald's track record, claiming that he said the same thing about Bloodborne a few years ago. Quick to defend them, Khan chimed in by claiming that McDonald was correct and that Bloodborne was "at one point in the works" for both PS5 and PC.

Not Knowing How To Play Bloodborne Made Me A Better Player

I played for dozens of hours before discovering lock-on, and I was better without it.

Before all you Bloodborne fans get your hopes up, allow me to dash them once again. After dropping this bombshell, Khan went on to explain that it's been "literal years" since he last heard anything about the project, and urged fans not to "hold [their] breath". Given how many rumors and supposed hints from insiders about a potential Bloodborne remaster we've had over the years, that definitely tracks.

Bloodborne's 10th anniversary takes place in 2025, so some fans are still holding out hope for some kind of acknowledgment from PlayStation, but it's looking pretty slim.

If PlayStation has been working on a Bloodborne remaster for years, then we can only really expect one of two outcomes. Either PlayStation is currently sitting on a complete Bloodborne remaster and is waiting for the best time to release it, or, and the more likely scenario, PlayStation was working on one but has scrapped it for some reason, most likely because it wants to see Bloodborne fans suffer for as long as possible.

Most of the frustration seems to stem from the fact that remastering Bloodborne just makes sense from both a financial and critical point of view. It's arguably the one PS4 exclusive that would actually benefit the most from a remaster, unlike recent titles such as The Last of Us Part 2 and the upcoming Until Dawn, and it's almost guaranteed to sell a bajillion copies due to its reputation.

It's a win for everyone, but PlayStation doesn't seem all that interested. In fact, it seems more determined to shut down Bloodborne fan-games these days, as popular fan project Bloodborne Kart recently had to scrape off the Bloodborne branding after being contacted by Sony. Please PlayStation, why do you hate us so?

I have a bit of a completionist streak at times, and I bet you do, too.
