Bloodborne PSX Demake Hits Copyright Claim; Mod Creator Speculates

Recent developments in the Bloodborne fan community have sparked concerns over copyright issues, particularly following a copyright claim against the Bloodborne PSX demake project and the takedown of a 60fps mod patch. These actions were traced back to MarkScan Enforcement, a company hired by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Lance McDonald, the creator of the Bloodborne 60fps mod, reported that the takedown effectively removes his project from the internet. In light of these claims, fans have speculated whether these aggressive measures might signal that Sony is secretly working on a remake or an official next-gen upgrade for the beloved game, which has been dormant for nearly a decade. The community is yearning for an official remaster or sequel, driving a wave of discussion and theories surrounding the future of Bloodborne.

While there is significant fan demand for a Bloodborne sequel or remaster, there has been no official announcement from Sony. The game’s creator, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has expressed a preference for not allowing anyone other than himself to handle a sequel, contributing to its dormancy. However, advancements in PS4 emulation have allowed players to experience Bloodborne at 60fps, further fueling speculation about an official upgrade.

Bloodborne, released in March 2015, is a gothic horror action RPG developed by FromSoftware. It gained critical acclaim for its atmospheric world, intricate lore, and challenging combat mechanics. As a spiritual successor to the Dark Souls series, it quickly became a fan favorite, prompting calls for a remaster or sequel as newer gaming technology emerged. The ongoing silence from Sony, especially amidst active community projects, continues to leave its future uncertain.
