A decade after its launch on PS4, Bloodborne still haunts players’ minds—and wish lists. The gothic action RPG remains one of PlayStation’s most celebrated exclusives, with a 98% recommended rating on OpenCritic. Despite its enduring popularity, the game has been largely silent since its DLC, leaving fans hungry for a modern revival on PS5. That long wait might finally be nearing a turning point, if new hiring activity is any indication.
FromSoftware has previously made it clear that any decision about a Bloodborne remake rests with Sony, which owns the rights to the franchise. That’s why recent attention has turned to Bluepoint Games, a well-known studio currently recruiting a senior combat designer. The role centers on designing enemy and boss encounters and refining third-person combat systems—language that immediately set speculation ablaze in the Soulslike community. The listing emphasizes collaboration with animation, character art, level design, and engineering teams to elevate combat mechanics and deliver the studio’s next major title, which naturally has fans connecting the dots.
It’s important to temper expectations. This is not an official announcement, and the project in question has not been confirmed. As of now, the idea of a Bloodborne remake remains a rumor, and signs suggest the situation may be in a holding pattern until Sony or FromSoftware speaks up.
Still, the timing and the nature of the role are hard to ignore. A PS5 remake would be a dream scenario for many, potentially bringing sharper visuals, higher frame rates, faster loading, and modern controller features to Yharnam’s nightmarish streets. With excitement building around any hint of movement, players will be watching upcoming PlayStation showcases and studio updates closely.
For now, consider this an intriguing development rather than a done deal. If a Bloodborne remake truly is in the works, expect confirmation to come directly from Sony or FromSoftware. Until then, the hunt continues.
