Sony Destroys Bloodborne 60fps Patch: Fan Project Shut Down

Sony has issued a takedown notice against the fan-made 60fps patch for Bloodborne, a popular action RPG developed by FromSoftware. The patch, created by modder Lance McDonald, allowed the game to run at higher frames per second, enhancing the overall experience for players. This patch, however, is no longer available due to the DMCA request from Sony, much to the disappointment of its fanbase. Fans had speculated that the takedown could hint at a future remaster of Bloodborne, especially after the success of the Demon’s Souls remake. However, current indications suggest that a remaster is unlikely, as key personnel, including director Hidetaka Miyazaki, are reportedly too busy with other projects. Although there have been advances in PlayStation 4 emulation, for now, players are left with the original version.

Currently, the likelihood of a Bloodborne remaster or sequel appears low. Despite fan hopes, director Hidetaka Miyazaki's focus on other projects and the recent DMCA takedown suggest players may be stuck with the existing PS4 version for the foreseeable future.

Bloodborne, released in 2015, has garnered a large fanbase due to its atmospheric world, challenging gameplay, and deep lore. Known for its gothic horror elements, it’s an action RPG that has significantly influenced the genre. As players continue to praise its unique combat and design, the calls for a remaster or sequel have only intensified, especially given the advancements in gaming technology and the popularity of the Souls-like genre.
