While these have mostly been patched out, the game is showing its age nowadays with relatively long load times and low frame-rates \u2013 the game didn\u2019t even get a PS4 Pro update.<\/p>\n<p>The release of the PS5, however, reinvigorated rumours of some sort of remaster or next-gen patch, especially after FromSoftware\u2019s previous game Demon\u2019s Souls got a full-on PS5 remake that went down extremely well. Bloodborne was still extremely popular and was added to the PS Plus Collection, so it seemed like the perfect time to use the next-gen capabilities to explore Yharnam in 4K or 60fps \u2013 or even on PC, as Sony had started porting many of their former exclusives to the platform.<\/p>\n<p>However, the years came and went, and despite fans claiming to spot clues pointing to a remake and causing the game to trend several times on Twitter, there\u2019s been radio silence on any official news on a Bloodborne remake \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2022, Bluepoint Games posted an image on the <a href=\"\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2022\/12\/15\/seasons-greetings-2022-playstation-blog-and-friends\/#Bluepoint&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">PlayStation Blog<\/a> teasing their next project.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Bluepoint Games is teasing their next PlayStation project \ud83d\ude33\ud83d\udd25<br\/><br\/>(pictured is Demon\u2019s Souls, Shadow of the Colossus and God of War &#8211; with a 4th mystery package!) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PS5?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">#PS5<\/a> <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/WiRCXcpE5s&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/WiRCXcpE5s<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Hunter \ud83c\udfae (@NextGenPlayer) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/NextGenPlayer\/status\/1603535396121583617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">December 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/>\n<p>The picture shows four presents, three of which have a weapon next to them representing the studio\u2019s work on previous games \u2013 a shield for Demon\u2019s Souls, the Leviathan Axe for support work on <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/god-of-war-ragnarok-ending-kratos\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">God of War: Ragnar\u00f6k<\/a> and the Ancient Sword for Shadow of the Colussus.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth and final present, however, has no weapon, suggesting a future game that may well be unwrapped soon. Given that the developer\u2019s last solo work was on the PS5 version of Demon\u2019s Souls, this has led to speculation that a remake of a certain other FromSoftware game is up next\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will there really be a Bloodborne remake?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If there really is to be a Bloodborne remake, this look to be the most likely opportunity yet. Sony certainly hasn\u2019t been afraid to remaster or rerelease previous hits \u2013 looking at you Spider-Man Remastered and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/last-of-us-remake-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Last of Us Part 1<\/a> \u2013 and must surely be aware of the fan demand by now. Given Bluepoint Games had such success remaking sister franchise Demon\u2019s Souls, the developers would surely be first in line for any sort of Bloodborne re-release.<\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s nothing that guarantees that the project is Bloodborne or even another FromSoftware remake. Other fans have suggested that the colour of the presents matches Metal Gear Solid, and are also a reference to Solid Snake\u2019s trademark habit of hiding in boxes. Metal Gear Solid has been dormant for several years, so a remake may be a safe choice as the franchise attempts to find its footing again.<\/p>\n<p>And it may not even be a remake or remaster at all \u2013 after contributing to God of War: Ragnar\u00f6k, rumours have been swirling that Bluepoint Games are working on a brand new original game rather than updating an older IP.<\/p> <p>Other than the above image, there\u2019s been no official news suggesting that a Bloodborne remake is on the way \u2013 to save yourself disappointment, we\u2019d suggest not reading too far into this until we get an official announcement. It seems as if Bluepoint Games are gearing up to announce this mystery project soon which will end the speculation one way or another, and a Bloodborne update may still be in the works at another developer.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other remasters and remakes to look forward to, however \u2013 horror fans have the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/dead-space-release-date-remake\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Dead Space<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/resident-evil-4-remake-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Resident Evil 4<\/a> remakes to look forward to in 2023, while later down the line <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/the-witcher-remake-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Witcher<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/silent-hill-2-remake-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Silent Hill 2<\/a> will be getting the same treatment in Unreal Engine 5.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be sure to let you know straight away if a Bloodborne remake is announced \u2013 or at least a PS5 patch!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hungry for more gaming?
