Released nearly a decade ago by FromSoftware, Bloodborne's fans have been eagerly anticipating a sequel, remaster, or an update. Yoshida speculates that the renowned director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who is currently preoccupied with various successful projects, may not want anyone else to handle the beloved franchise, resulting in its continued dormancy. Despite Sony's reputation for remastering classic games, they may be respecting Miyazaki's wishes, leaving Bloodborne fans in a state of anticipation.
