Last year, rumors started swirling that FromSoftware’s critically-acclaimedBloodbornewould be getting an official PS5 upgrade alongside a PC port. Nothing official has been announced yet, but rumors persist thanks to regular “leaks” about theBloodbornePS5 remaster and what exactly it may entail. The latestBloodbornePS5 leak comes from French Twitter user SoulsHunt, who has offered some new information on what the game has in store for fans.
Like with any video game rumor, fans should take this information with a massive grain of salt. According to SoulsHunt (who accurately leakedStranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Originprior to its reveal), theBloodbornePS5 remasteris not being developed by Bluepoint Games or FromSoftware, but it is still said to be “ambitious.” The specific developer working on the game was not revealed by SoulsHunt, but they believe theBloodbornePS5 remaster will launch at some point later this year, with a PC version coming even later.

TheBloodbornePC port has been rumored for quite some time as well, gaining steam thanks to Sony releasing its PlayStation exclusive games on PC. Neither theBloodbornePC portnor the rumored PS5 version have been officially announced, and so those wanting to play an upgraded version of the classic game will want to keep their expectations in check for now.
In the meantime, someBloodbornefans may have already played the original game to death and would rather play a sequel on the PS5 instead. Unfortunately for those wanting to play aBloodbornesequel, SoulsHunt says that FromSoftware is not makingBloodborne 2, citing the developer’s desire to work on original IP instead. FromSoftware definitely does seem to prefer working on new IP, and while there were threeDark Soulsgames released, the studio has also launchedDemon’s Souls,Bloodborne, andSekiro: Shadows Die Twicein the same timeframe, withElden Ringon the way next year.
If theBloodbornePS5 remaster is real and coming this year, then fans should expect an announcement sooner rather than later. There are rumors that anew PlayStation State of Play eventis going to take place at some point next month, though Sony has yet to actually announce it at the time of this writing.
There are a lot of rumors going around about Sony State of Play events and aBloodbornePS5 remaster, but fans should avoid getting too excited until they get official word. While they wait, they can play the originalBloodborneon PS5 through thePlayStation Plus Collection lineup.
