FromSoftware Blocked Bluepoint’s Bloodborne Remake Pitch, Reports Say

The move, disclosed after Sony shuttered Bluepoint, underscores how creator preference overruled the platform holder’s IP ownership.

Overview

  • Bloomberg reports Bluepoint proposed a Bloodborne remake in early 2025 and was told the business case worked, but FromSoftware did not want it to proceed.
  • Following that rejection, Bluepoint also pitched an updated Shadow of the Colossus and a Ghost of Tsushima spinoff, none of which were approved.
  • Sony closed Bluepoint on February 19, 2026, affecting roughly 70 roles, after the studio went more than a year without a greenlit project.
  • Bluepoint had previously spent years on a live‑service God of War concept centered on Atreus in Hades that Sony canceled in January 2025.
  • With FromSoftware resisting outside stewardship, outlets note an externally developed Bloodborne update appears unlikely unless the original creator opts in.
