Bloodborne Maintenance Sparks Fan Outrage on PlayStation's 30th

Nov 28, 2024 9:38 AM

Bloodborne fans are feeling anxious as the game announced unexpected server maintenance on December 3, coinciding with PlayStation's 30th anniversary. Initially released on PS4 in 2015, Bloodborne has not seen a next-gen update or a remake, despite ongoing requests from its community. This maintenance ignited speculation about potential announcements regarding the game's future, especially since director Hidetaka Miyazaki previously indicated that Bloodborne would benefit from modern hardware. However, fans are also reminded to temper their expectations, as similar maintenance in the past did not yield new content or updates.

Does the server maintenance mean a Bloodborne remake or update is coming?

Currently, indications suggest that it is simply routine server maintenance and not a sign of an impending remake or update. Historically, Bloodborne's previous maintenance has led to no major announcements, creating a sense of deja vu among fans eagerly awaiting any news.

Originally released by FromSoftware, Bloodborne is an action RPG set in a gothic horror world filled with nightmarish creatures and challenging gameplay, similar to the developer’s renowned Dark Souls series. Its cult following has long speculated about potential enhancements or sequels, fueled by hints from Hidetaka Miyazaki. With the ongoing rumors of Sony acquiring FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa, the future for Bloodborne and similar franchises remains uncertain but hopeful for dedicated fans.
