Now that the internet has pretty much run out of things to say about Grand Theft Auto 6 following Rockstar Games’ no-show for its predecessor’s tenth anniversary, internet sleuths are now looking elsewhere for entertainment. Enter: the Bloodborne remake, re-release, and sequel theories.
For as long as Bloodborne and the PlayStation 4 Pro has been out, fans have been grasping at straws to prove that Sony and FromSoftware are doubling down on the genre-spawning PS4 exclusive.
Unfortunately, outside of a working PlayStation 5 build of Bloodborne, which no one outside of a handful can play, this probably won’t happen anytime soon. FromSoftware is currently busy working on the expansion of Elden Ring and the strong sales all but guarantees that a sequel is coming sooner rather than later. So, why are we here? Because of something that a fan spotted over on Reddit.
Is PlayStation possible doing a game test for a Soulsborne game?

According to u/the_marmolade, PlayStation UK (presumably) recently held a “4 Day Game Test” in Central London that specifically asked for “Soulsborne fans” while using games such as Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Elden Ring, and, of course, Dark Souls, as well as Bloodborne, as part of the job ad.
We can only assume that, for £500, the selected individuals will take turns angrily throwing their controllers at the wall in Oxford Circus from October 10 to October 13 to test out the functionality, and more importantly, durability of the upcoming PlayStation Access controller.
All jokes aside, this probably isn’t for anything related to Bloodborne, except maybe that they belong in the same genre.
Most likely, PlayStation UK was testing out Team Ninja’s upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive title, Rise of the Ronin, which is reportedly scheduled to come out early next year. It’s possible Sony is thinking of releasing the game before the fiscal year ends, if only to end Jim Ryan’s tenure within the company on a higher note with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth set to come out on February 29 as well.
Another possibility is it could be Bluepoint Games’ still-unconfirmed but original game. A Soulsborne title would make a lot of sense after its successful work on the Demon’s Souls remake for the PS5.
If you’ve got a Soulsborne-sized itch to scratch, you can check out either Lies of P or Lords of the Fallen. Unfortunately, the latter is currently being review bombed on Steam.
