Hype for a Bloodborne Remaster Fuelled by Instagram Posts

A Cult Classic Begging for a Modern Revival

Bloodborne has carved out a significant place in gaming culture, with many fans yearning to explore the haunting streets of Yharnam on newer consoles. While no official announcements have been made, recent Instagram activity has reignited hope. On August 24, FromSoftware shared three images tagged with "#bloodborne," showcasing iconic characters and settings such as Djura in Old Yharnam and the Hunter navigating Yharnam's heart and Charnel Lane's graveyards.

These posts have sparked fervent discussions on social media, with fans scrutinizing every detail for hints of a remaster. Adding to the buzz, PlayStation Italia posted similar content on August 17, asking fans which of Bloodborne's gothic locations they cherished most. The comments section was flooded with nostalgic fans and hopeful pleas for a version playable on PC or modern consoles.

Almost a Decade Later, the Hunt for Bloodborne on Modern Consoles Continues

Originally exclusive to the PS4, Bloodborne has earned its place as one of the greatest video games, yet it has not seen a sequel or remaster. The successful 2020 remake of Demon’s Souls serves as a beacon of hope for fans, though the long wait for that game's revival tempers their excitement. As Bloodborne approaches its tenth anniversary, the demand for a remastered version intensifies.

In a February interview with Eurogamer, Bloodborne's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, hinted at the potential benefits of remastering the game for modern hardware. "I think having new hardware is definitely a part of what gives these remakes value," Miyazaki stated, emphasizing the importance of accessibility for more players.

However, Miyazaki also noted in an IGN interview that the final say on a Bloodborne remaster lies with Sony, as FromSoftware does not own the IP. "We simply don’t own the IP at FromSoftware. For me personally, it was a great project, and I have a lot of great memories for that game, but we’re not at liberty to speak to it," he explained.

Despite its acclaim and dedicated following, Bloodborne remains confined to the PS4. As fans continue to speculate and hope, only time will reveal if these rumors of a remaster will come to fruition.
