Miyazaki says Bloodborne is 'a title we hold very dear' but remains maddeningly vague about whether it'll ever come to PC

This week we got our first serious look at Shadow of the Erdtree, and it looks like FromSoft is out to exceed its own incredibly high DLC standards. But let's put 2022's hottest title to one side for a moment, because what matters is that the Erdtree trailer has been accompanied by FromSoftware CEO Hidetaka Miyazaki giving some interviews about the game: during some of which he was asked about my own white whale, the endless rumours and requests for a Bloodborne PC release and/or remaster.

The 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive remains locked to that platform (and 30FPS), despite being in many folks' eyes the finest game this exceptional studio has yet produced. It seems inconceivable, given the success of the Souls games, nevermind Elden Ring, that it will not at some point be the subject of a port or remaster effort (honestly: I'll take anything). It is also a topic on which Miyazaki, who wrote and directed the game, has been as enigmatic as possible.

But that doesn't stop the asking. IGN went up first and ran straight into a classic misdirection. «Unfortunately, and I've said this in other interviews, it's not in my place to talk about Bloodborne specifically,» said Miyazaki. «We simply don't own the IP at FromSoftware. For me personally, it was a great project, and I have a lot of great memories for that game, but we're not at liberty to speak to it.»

It's always been known that Bloodborne is a Sony IP, and so ultimately the decision does rest there, but y'know I kinda think Hidetaka Miyazaki's name may have some sway over at PlayStation HQ. Given Sony's move in recent years towards more cross-platform releases and double-dipping on PC with its big exclusives, you'd also say that now more than ever feels like the right time for the Yharnam night time.

Eurogamer had a little more luck, though with this guy everything is relative. They asked directly about the possibility of a Bloodborne remake and, while Miyazaki did once again crank up the deflecto-tron, he at least
