There are some topics in the gaming world that will seemingly always remain in the limelight: the whereabouts ofHalf-Life 3, the ever-changing and fickle nature of the industry, and, of course, why Sony has yet to re-releaseBloodborne.
Going down as not only one of thegreatest games of the PS4 era, but perhaps one of the best releases in recent history, Bloodborne officially turns ten years old today. Releasing on the then-current Sony console (and only on that) on June 04, 2025, FromSoftware’s gothic action RPG struck a major chord with players, especially those who were already big fans of theDark Soulsgames.
A decade is a long time for a video game to be on the public conscience and although the developer has moved on since then, a lot of people are not willing to let go of the exploits of the Hunter.
Why hasn’t Sony re-releasedBloodborne?
Over the years, there have been many calls for publisher Sony to makeBloodborneavailable on another system. Onanysystem, it seems. In ten years, the game has not managed to budge from the shackles of its PlayStation 4 home; not even a port to the PS5.
The game’s director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has said in the past that the people at FromSoftware would be keen to seeBloodborneon PC, but it’s evidently not up to them to make that decision. A remaster would almost certainly go down well in the current gaming environment (can you imagine a Nightdive Studios take on the game?).
It’s been said over and over again, but there doesn’t seem to be any reason why Sony wouldn’t want to make one of the most sought-after games under its belt available on current-gen hardware. At this point, it feels like the more people want it, the more Sony is reluctant to give the fan base what it wants.
It is great thatBloodborneis celebrating its tenth birthday, and we should all be celebrating that. However, it is slightly muddied by the idea that the game’s publisher continues to kick its heels about re-releasing it on literally any other system, despite the high demand.
