Sony Sets R-Rated Animated Bloodborne Film With Jacksepticeye Producing

The project is in early development with key hires unannounced, leaving FromSoftware’s involvement unclear.

Overview

  • Sony Pictures used CinemaCon to confirm an animated Bloodborne feature that will carry an R rating, produced with PlayStation Productions and Lyrical Animation and co-financed by Lyrical Media.
  • YouTuber Seán “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin is a credited producer and told fans on Reddit and in a new video that he will push to make the adaptation as faithful as possible.
  • Sony film chief Sanford Panitch said the movie will be very true to the game’s brutal, gothic tone and will not shy away from its violence.
  • No director, cast, story details, release window, or distribution plans have been announced, and there is no confirmed role for developer FromSoftware or creator Hidetaka Miyazaki.
  • Reaction from fans is mixed, reflecting excitement for fresh Bloodborne content and frustration after years of requests for a remaster, remake, or sequel that have not materialized.
