Bloodborne,Fromsoftware,Hidetaka Miyazaki

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Bloodborne, explains why there hasn't been a sequel, remaster, or remake of the game. The issue lies with the IP ownership, which is not in the hands of FromSoftware. Sony owns the Bloodborne IP and played a major role in its development.

2015’s Bloodborne continues to be one of the most beloved FromSoftware titles, thanks to its cosmic horror twist on the Soulslike genre. But it’s never gotten a sequel, remaster, or remake, despite the fact that fans have been clamoring for anything Bloodborne related for years at this point. According to Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki , it isn’t due to a lack of interest on the part of FromSoftware but an issue of IP ownership.

In a recent interview with IGN surrounding Elden Ring’s upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Miyazaki opened up about why the developer has stayed silent on the project for so long. “Unfortunately, and I’ve said this in other interviews, it’s not in my place to talk about Bloodborne specifically. We simply don’t own the IP at FromSoftware.” So who does own the Bloodborne IP? That would be Sony. On top of being the publisher for the title, Sony’s (now defunct) first-party developer Japan Studio had a major role in the development of Bloodborn
