Despite being almost a decade old, Bloodborne remains a mainstay in pop culture. The game is still widely enjoyed by enthusiasts, and there’s been demand for an updated PS5 and PC version for quite some time now. Streaming superstar Kai Cenat, dressed in full Yharnam garb, is aiming to raise awareness for the re-release – and he’s currently streaming the original to around 100k people.
“I don’t think I have the power to [convince them to make the game],” he said on stream. “But I do have the power to bring attention to it. The least I can do is try to push the narrative. PlayStation, FromSoftware: this is one of the most highly requested games for a remaster and a PC version. Can you please do something?”
Sony published Bloodborne and owns the intellectual property, so it’s ultimately down to the Japanese giant to resurrect the release. Even boss and director Hidetaka Miyazaki seems to want to deploy an updated version of the title: “If I say I want [a remaster], I'll get in trouble. Unfortunately, and I've said this in other interviews, it's not my place to talk about Bloodborne specifically.”
The reality is that a revamped version of Bloodborne, available on PS5 and PC with upgraded graphics and running at 60 frames-per-second, would be an enormous release for PlayStation. Clearly it’s going to happen at some point, it just feels like the platform holder’s waiting for the stars to align before it pulls the trigger. Let’s hope Kai Cenat’s intervention helps speed up the process.

After the health of my children and wife my next wish is for a Bloodborne remake 😁 Come on Sony!!! Console seller!
Remake will come one day, but for now I'd settle for a 60FPS patch on PS5.
Bloodborne Remake - ps6 launch title.
Unless this remaster remake adds in the cut content, I don't want it. I'd much rather a sequel
The world building and atmosphere is too good for just one game
Dark Cloud 3 first! Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread. 😆
@Mikey856 Same, but the other way around.
Hmmm. Maybe Sony hired him to start a guerilla marketing campaign that ends with a bloodborne remaster & bloodborne 2 announcement? That must be it? I can't believe we're getting a new bloodborne its finally happening!!
First of all, as Snoop Dogg would say "who?"
Second, you are more likely to get a Concord / Bloodborne crossover before a PS5 port.
Actually that might be kind of cool.
Full remake doesn’t even feel worth it for me. 60FPS sure, could do with it. A sequel’s probably a more interesting prospect. But then I’m not the biggest fan of the base game anyway, Old Hunters is brilliant though.
At some time in the past, Bloodborne really PO’d some exec at Sony. Maybe with the surge of ER lovers we’ll get a proper Bloodborne on something.
Definitely would consider a replay if they release a remaster, even though I still have 2 From Souls games left to play (3 if you count Sekiro)
@colonelkilgore Agreed. Sony HAVE to had heard all the requests but I suspect they want to get Bluepoint to do it properly, like they did Demon's Souls (although that didn't actually sell all that well), but Bluepoint are working on another game first. PS6 seems likely.
We are never going to get a remake or a remaster. Who are we kidding? They can't even be arsed to release a patch enabling 60fps FFS. It's depressing.
@Northern_munkey you do have to wonder where Sony get there information from because it certainly ain’t sites like this. Focus groups (full of cod and fifa players) maybe?
@Mikey856 it's very odd that a sure fire multi million seller isn't getting green lit by Sony. Idiots..
I do not understand how a prequel or sequel has not been made yet. The hype would be off the charts and would sell 10M copies, easily.
@Judal27 It really doesn't need a sequel or the cut content. Perfect as is, not everything needs a sequel.
Neah... Sony's gonna sit on the Remake for a while longer, and use it eventually to promote a console, most likely PS6.
Just like they did with Demon's Souls for PS5.
And most likely, there's not gonna be any PC version.
Those are the only two From Software/Miyazaki made/directed IP's they actually own, so they're not available for sharing or for casual launches.
The game is dated now.. Just remake it or make a sequel at this point.
Fromsoft don't tend to retread so it would be another blueprint style situation if it were remade, but a sequel would be dope.
Fromsoft have barely improved their engine since 2009 and love re-skining assets and reusing animations alongside using the same dated and cumbersome UI across their soulslike games so it's completely doable to bust out a sequel.
This game got me into Souls games. I flaked on the original Demons Souls, but Bloodborne won me back. Such an awesomely bizarre world, with extreme weirdness around every corner. Miyazaki will get in trouble? What the hell? It’s like they don’t want the money! Is NoClip still around? We need Danny to do a deep dive into why there was no sequel, let alone a remaster. Got to be some weird rights issue or internal politics, or maybe Sony just doesn’t like money. Makes me so maaaad!😂
Ps5 maybe. If it ever goes pc, bloodbourne 2 is imminent.
@KundaliniRising333 that's what this means. You can already play it on ps5.
I really don't feel like we need to remaster this and slap a 70 quid price tag on it. The original game still holds up, just patch us in 60fps and happy days, as they say
I love the game but I can't hear this anymore. Bloodborne 2 or something else please, patch at most.
We should get kai to play lost odyssey so we can get a remaster 😆
@Nepp67 I only agree when it comes to the story. But from a gameplay, atmosphere, and world building/design standpoint, there's never enough bloodborne lol
I feel like a full on remake would loose the ecstatic of what makes blood borne look so iconic, but like what other people have said a 60FPS patch would be the way to go
I sort of feel like the "they lost the source code" theory may be true
Honestly, I think the game still looks fantastic. All we really need is 60fps. The combat is so dependent on quick reflexes, it would be a gamechanger to play at 60. No remake, no remaster needed—just patch that framerate for PS5!
We’ll probably get a The Last of Us part 1&2 remaster for PS6 before this sadly 😔
@j2c oh don’t 😂😂.. it’s killing me waiting…it’s the not knowing lol.. I like the PS6 launch title theory though 🤞🤞🤞🤞
We need more remasters and remakes this generation! Dammit there hasn't been enough! Please keep selling us games we've already had.
I'm so tired of this. From seem really happy making new IP. Sony don't seem interested. Let it rest. I also think Bloodborne never needed a sequel. Dark Souls 2 and 3 weren't great and 3 especially relied on fan service.
You can't on one hand scream for new games while also begging like children for an old game to be remade/remastered.
@CaptD I love that snoop dogg soundbite.
@Mikey856 you know it’ll happen. Sony loooooves last of us. (But seriously though)
Ah this dude, the embodiment of everything wrong with streamers, let’s not stroke his inflated ego even more by alluding this might actually work.
But Jeff Grubb has told us Bloodborne remake will release in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023,2024... soon he will say 2025, just you wait. All this according to Push Square that spreads his lies as facts... I'm starting to loose hope on this, sell Bungie and use the money to make Bloodborne Remake and Bloodborne II, and make a new Astrobot for PSVR2, that would make me happy, not all these BB rumours, Bungie drama or live service crap, Sony is soo lost at the moment. And where is Days Gone II??!!
@breakneck What are you talking about? DS3 had some of the best boss fights fromsoft ever
made, game can definetly stand on its own legs.
Bloodborne is Sony's Pikmin. Except somehow neglected more.
@colonelkilgore
Absolutely on the cards, another Bluepoint special - likely to tie in also with the forthcoming movie/TV tie-in… in typical Sony fashion!
As much as a 60FPS patch and up-scale would be great, I’d rather the resources were ploughed into a full scale remake- imagine how awesome it’ll be as a PS6 poster child!
Good on Kai though for using his platform to spread awareness. I’m certainly not his target demographic, nor am I fully aware of what he does, but I understand he has significant reach via social platforms…. And anyone that preaches BB is OK by me!
@Yousef-
Indeed.
Have you seen pictures of Mr Dogg at the Olympics?
Looking proper dapper in his equestrian outfit.
@CaptD hell yeah I did. Dope as hell.
“Bloodborne is Sony's Pikmin. Except somehow neglected more.”
I love this description so much.
@Yousef- yeah you’re right 😂. Damn you SOOONNNNYYYYYYYY
@CJD87 this exactly this, I mean I would take anything but if I did have the choice I’d go for a full on Bluepoint remake every day of the week. They did magical things with Demons..
Sony should be publicly flogged at this point for abandoning the IP. There, I said it. I say we storm their headquarters, find whoever is complacent in this tragedy, strip them naked and gently flog them peacefully in front of CNN.
In this day and age, I must declare this is sarcasm! Please, no one should trespass or hurt anyone!
Anyway, so after we finish storming their headquarters...
@Mikey856 I genuinely think it is on the cards. The movie being early in development is such a 'green light' for me on this one...
PS6 Launch title, tied with movie release, developed by Bluepoint. Limited/timed exclusive on PS, before a port to PC later down the line.
That would absolutely print money, especially if Elden Ring was referenced in the marketing material.
I don't know who's this youtuber but i can only say good luck.
I mean, Bloodborne sold 7.46 million copies as of February 2022. But Sony doesn't do much with the IP after the expansion released back in November 2015, outside they let Dark Horse created a couple of comic books which was pretty solid, a board games, and Nendoroid / Figma figures for The Hunter and The Doll.
Well at least Sony doesn't take down a PS1 demake and kart game created by fans. Maybe Sony has some plans with the IP but again who knows what the new SIE president and CEO thinks about the IP...
If I was a betting man, I'd say a remaster is coming next year for the 10th anniversary. Maybe announced at the end of this year.
A bunch of no name games got 60fps patches yet Bloodborne is still not worthy of one? Did Sony execs get jumped by the Fromsoft team in a empty alley?
