Over the past 24 hours, God of War’s creator, David Jaffe, has become the talk of the town for talking about a remaster of Bloodborne.
Jaffe’s recent YouTube live stream saw him talk about everything from Metal Gear and PlayStation to the still-unconfirmed PlayStation Showcase. Then, a fan brought up Bloodborne, to which, he said, “I don’t know if it’s a remaster, I don’t know if it’s just a PC version, but we know it’s in development.”
Jaffe added that he doesn’t have a clue when PlayStation plans on showing the game off, while also saying that he doesn’t “think Bloodborne 2 is in development.”
Is there a Bloodborne remake/remaster coming soon?

But, before you go ahead and believe what Jaffe is saying, you might want to read what Lance McDonald had to say first.
McDonald, among other things, previously mentioned that he’s seen a working PC port of Bloodborne when he refuted an insider that said that Sony needed permission from FromSoftware to work on anything that’s related to the iconic PS4-exclusive title.
So, which is which?
Well, we’re inclined to believe that a remaster or a remake of Bloodborne isn’t coming. If it was, we would’ve seen info on it in the Nvidia GeForce Now leak.
The last time we checked, only the PC port of the Demon’s Souls remake is potentially in the works. But, of course, Sony as well as FromSoftware could be working on a remake of Bloodborne without a PC port planned. This move would indeed be counterintuitive to the company’s earlier statements, but we’ve seen more baffling things happen within the gaming industry in the past.
Ultimately, Sony’s name has been thrown around so much in the past few months that we’re bound to hear news from the PlayStation manufacturers sooner rather than later.
We’ve already gotten wind of this month’s PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup, so we’re hoping the official announcement of the PlayStation Showcase is next.
Sony is scheduled to welcome to big exclusives in the next six months with Final Fantasy 16 coming out on June 22 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 scheduled for some time in the fall.
