Overview

  • Former PlayStation head Shuhei Yoshida said Thursday at CEDEC 2026 that he does not know why Bloodborne has no PS5 or PC edition and called the absence “a complete mystery.”
  • Yoshida spoke as a fan and said a port, remaster, special edition, or sequel could still happen but he offered no new commitments or timeline.
  • Reporting says Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake in 2025 but FromSoftware declined the offer, a decision that undercuts one obvious route to a modern release.
  • Sources note FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki is directing The Duskbloods, which suggests the studio may deprioritize new Bloodborne work until that project concludes.
  • Fans have pursued workarounds such as the ShadPS4 emulator and rely on PS5 backward compatibility to play the PS4 version at higher frame rates, highlighting strong unmet demand for an official modern release.
