Bloodborne, the iconic PlayStation 4 exclusive from developer FromSoftware, turns 10 years old today. The game, known for its cosmic horror twist on the developer’s signature Soulslike combat, rewards players for forgoing defense in favor of an all-out attack. Despite being praised for its artistry, Bloodborne’s technical performance left much to be desired.
The game is still restricted to 30fps, with frame pacing issues and other performance problems. Fans created a patch that unlocked the game’s framerate, but Sony’s legal team took it down due to the use of its trademarked name. Ex-PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida implied that the lack of activity around Bloodborne might be due to creator Hidetaka Miyazaki’s busy schedule and the platform holder’s respect for his involvement.
On this milestone anniversary, Bloodborne fans are hoping for some form of recognition from publisher Sony.
Bloodborne’s enduring legacy and hopes
However, the community knows such occasions rarely come with meaningful game announcements.
Many believe that developer Bluepoint, known for its acclaimed remakes of other titles, could eventually handle a remaster or remake. While the community remains hopeful, they understand that any significant news might still be several years away. The legacy of Bloodborne continues to resonate deeply within the gaming community.
Fans remain vocal about their love for the game and desire for a sequel or a polished remaster that addresses the original’s performance issues. As Bloodborne turns 10, the anticipation for updates or announcements is high, but expectations are tempered. The game’s impact on the industry and its dedicated fanbase ensures its legacy will endure, even as the wait for a sequel or remaster continues.
