The grim future of Bloodborne after Sony's rejection of more than 10 new proposals

The hopes of seeing new versions of Bloodborne are at their lowest point following the closure of Bluepoint Games, which revealed that Sony has rejected more than 10 proposals for remakes, reimaginings, and sequels of the popular title.

The hopes of seeing new versions of Bloodborne are at their lowest point following the closure of Bluepoint Games, which revealed that Sony has rejected more than 10 proposals for remakes, reimaginings, and sequels of the popular title. This fact has generated great uncertainty about the future of the game, which has remained dormant since its release on PS4.

Players united will never be defeated

Although FromSoftware had shown interest in remastering in the past, it is now understood that they are the main barrier preventing the creation of new projects related to Bloodborne. This situation has left the community frustrated, as they have been waiting for a rescue of the game that would allow its expansion to new platforms.

In the midst of this disappointment, the Bloodborne community has decided to organize the annual Return to Yharnam event, which will take place from March 24 to April 7. This event aims to revive the gaming experience and bring players together in a collective effort to promote multiplayer and the creation of new characters. Participants are expected to fight together against iconic bosses and engage in intense PvP, all while keeping alive the community spirit that defines Bloodborne.

During this event, players often leave messages on the ground, such as “A hunter is never alone” and “you’re in the know, right?”, to encourage others and reaffirm their desire for Bloodborne to be freed from the limitations of the PS4. Although this year hope is scarce, the event serves as a clear reminder to FromSoftware and Sony that the community still wishes for a bright future for Bloodborne.

FromSoftware is guilty of the lack of sequels and remakes of Bloodborne

Bluepoint Games has pointed to FromSoftware as the main responsible party for the lack of new versions or sequels of Bloodborne, despite multiple proposals to revive the franchise in the last decade. According to Brandon Sheffield, developer of Demonschool, FromSoftware has rejected a variety of projects related to Bloodborne, including sequels, spin-offs, and remakes, which has generated growing discontent among the fanbase of the title.

According to Brandon Sheffield, developer of Demonschool, FromSoftware has rejected a variety of projects related to Bloodborne, including sequels, spin-offs, and remakes, which has generated growing discontent among the fanbase of the title.

Almost 10 years of Bloodborne

Bloodborne fans have expressed their frustration, especially after it was revealed that Bluepoint Games, known for its work on the Demon’s Souls remake, had shown interest in developing a new version of the game. However, it seems that discussions about a possible update have been fruitless, leaving Bloodborne stuck on the PS4 without even an upgrade for PS5 or a version for PC. This has been interpreted as a game of hot potato between PlayStation and FromSoftware, where each party blames the other for the lack of progress in the franchise.

Since Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the series, expressed his desire for more players to enjoy Bloodborne, speculation about new installments has persisted. However, his reluctance to address the topic has further fueled doubts. Recently, Sheffield shared on BlueSky that there have been at least ten studios that have proposed projects related to Bloodborne, but all have been dismissed by FromSoftware.

Meanwhile, Bluepoint Games has focused on other titles, such as Elden Ring Nightreign and a new exclusive project for Nintendo Switch 2. This decision, instead of investing in updating or expanding Bloodborne, has left fans disappointed, especially with the game’s tenth anniversary approaching in 2025, without an appropriate celebration to commemorate its legacy.

The MVP of FromSoftware has been crowned: a boss from Dark Souls can defeat almost all the bosses from Elden Ring

Recently, the popular YouTube channel Elden Ring Fights has showcased an exciting showdown between Artorias from Dark Souls and several bosses from Elden Ring, providing an interesting insight into the combat abilities of the legendary warrior. Artorias has been reintroduced as a boss in the DLC Deathly Forsaken Hollows, a move that has surprised and thrilled fans of both FromSoftware games. The royale-style battle features Artorias facing off against fearsome opponents from Elden Ring, highlighting his impressive record of 20 wins and 2 losses.

Artorias has been reintroduced as a boss in the DLC Deathly Forsaken Hollows, a move that has surprised and thrilled fans of both FromSoftware games. The royale-style battle features Artorias facing off against fearsome opponents from Elden Ring, highlighting his impressive record of 20 wins and 2 losses.

He was knighted for something

In battles, Artorias demonstrates his skill by dismantling bosses like Margit and Godfrey quickly, dealing great damage with each hit. However, his only significant defeat was against Maliketh, a boss that has been described as a considerable challenge, suggesting that even the most experienced warriors can face difficulties in the game. Critics also point out that some encounters, such as with Malenia, are especially complex due to her ability to regain health, raising the difficulty of the battle to a new level.

Despite his overall success, Artorias’ victory against Rykard, considered less interesting by critics, has raised doubts about the quality of his win. This questioning could affect the perception of his legacy as a fighter within the community. Moreover, the lack of information about his performance against the bosses of ‘Shadow of the Erdtree’ adds uncertainty and speculation about the continuity of his success.

True fans of the video game genre experience a mix of nostalgia and eagerness to see how Artorias will measure up against future adversaries. As speculation about new battles arises, the story of this iconic character continues to evolve, adding layers to its already rich mythology.

Elden Ring: Nightreign has announced its new DLC in which it will include the most iconic boss from the first Dark Souls

On December 4, the highly anticipated DLC The Forsaken Hollows for Elden Ring: Nightreign will be released, as announced in a new trailer presented by FromSoftware during Sony’s State of Play focused on Japan. This expansion will bring new bosses and playable characters, among which the legendary Artorias stands out, an iconic boss from Dark Souls who returns as a new enemy.

On December 4th, the highly anticipated DLC The Forsaken Hollows for Elden Ring: Nightreign will be released, as announced in a new trailer presented by FromSoftware during Sony’s State of Play focused on Japan. This expansion will bring new bosses and playable characters, among which the legendary Artorias stands out, an iconic boss from Dark Souls who returns as a new enemy.

The king returns

Artorias, known for his ferocity and rich history, was a fundamental challenge in Dark Souls, symbolizing a shift in boss design and the narrative of FromSoftware games. Since his appearance in the DLC Artorias of the Abyss in 2012, where he faced players in highly technical and strategic battles, Artorias has left an indelible mark on the gaming community. This time, fans are wondering how his combat will adapt to a 3v1 cooperative format in Nightreign.

From the long-standing tradition of Dark Souls bosses, FromSoftware’s boss design development has evolved towards faster and more dynamic battles, as seen in Elden Ring. This raises the question of whether Artorias will need adjustments to his artificial intelligence to continue representing an appropriate threat in this new context. His return not only promises nostalgia but also an exciting mix of challenges in a game that seeks to expand its roster of bosses through iconic characters from its previous titles.

With the inclusion of Artorias, it is expected that Nightreign will offer an exciting journey through the most memorable (and fearsome) moments of FromSoftware’s history. This move could set a standard for future DLCs, with the hope that the content continues to surprise and challenge players.

Bloodborne has had a hidden secret that has taken its community years to decipher

FromSoftware’s games are famous for their high difficulty and intricate lore, phenomena that have generated intense theories and debates within the gaming community. A clear example of this phenomenon occurred in Bloodborne, where fans were intrigued by a door that remained closed for weeks, leading to multiple speculations about its possible opening.

An impossible door to open

The community focused on a door in the Cathedral District, which, unlike others that could be opened with keys or by progressing in missions, displayed the message “Closed” when trying to interact with it. This riddle led some players to develop theories about the existence of a future DLC or hidden secrets, attempting various actions to unlock it.

The mystery was unveiled by the content creator illusory wall, who through a video on YouTube demonstrated that the door was connected to another area. However, a member of FromSoftware later confirmed that the door had been removed for lore reasons, describing it as a kind of joke to the players, hinting that what could have been a shortcut would result in disappointment.

This episode had a notable impact on the community, which remained active in its attempt to decipher its meaning. Interestingly, in the Demon’s Souls remake for PS5, a mysterious door also appeared, but like in Bloodborne, the secret behind it was revealed in a less exciting way than many expected.

FromSoftware games continue to fuel players’ fascination, who passionately engage in the quest for new secrets and enigmas, even though the outcome may often not be as grand as hoped. In this sense, speculations and theories will remain an integral part of the gaming experience.

Borderlands 4 has aimed to be less vulgar, but that hasn't stopped it from making fun of the most popular video game company today

Borderlands 4 is at a tonal crossroads, seeking to correct the excessive reliance on toilet humor that characterized its predecessor, Borderlands 3. The latter was criticized for its focus on tasteless jokes, leading to widespread negative feedback from players.

Neither is FromSoftware safe

Despite the fact that Borderlands 4 has tried to reduce this trend, some aspects, such as the villains, remain devoid of personality. Many of them feel like mere lifeless entities, with introductions that barely manage to fill the void in their business cards. However, side missions seem to offer the missing personality in the main storyline, including references to popular memes.

One of the most notable examples is the Forgive Me mission, which pays homage to the narrative of FromSoftware games. This unmarked mission begins in a cave located in the Terminus Ranges area, with a design reminiscent of the dark and exploratory environments typical of Soulbornes. Activities like these enrich the game, offering content that not only entertains but also connects with a broader gamer culture.

The character of Vycarias, known as the Lore-Singer, stands as a beacon of narrative in the game, presenting an extensive monologue about elements of the lore that had not been previously explored. His presence adds a layer of depth to the experience, similar to reading a detailed wiki entry of a universe that you barely understand, but that you grasp thanks to his delivery.

With the release of Borderlands 4, the developers aim not only to attract critics of the previous humor but also to enrich the overall player experience with meaningful content and cultural references. Undoubtedly, the community will be watching closely how this new installment unfolds within the popular Borderlands universe.

This new act features some of the most creative boss encounters to date, with challenging mechanics that have been compared to popular titles like Elden Ring, highlighting a sense of discovery and tension that elevates the gameplay.

An act where the game opens generously

One of the most notable features of Act 4 is the freedom it offers players to explore different islands in any order, each with its own theme and mini story. This non-linear structure is a welcome change from the previous acts, which felt more restrictive and repetitive. Players can enjoy a tangible progression by exploring new areas, which has enriched the overall experience.

Encounters with bosses in this act stand out for their creativity, including challenges like a sorcerer who creates a maze of rocks and an enemy who can freeze time. This has led to comparisons with the design styles of FromSoftware, where enemies present surprising transformations and attacks that require puzzle-solving. The excellent narrative and attention to detail have sparked renewed interest in the game among many players, even those who still feel intimidated by the complexity of the skill system.

Act 4 is also highly replayable, offering players the opportunity to return and complete new challenges, which adds additional value to the content. As players immerse themselves in this new content, a palpable anticipation is generated for the future acts of the saga, with the hope that Grinding Gear Games continues to surprise them with innovations in the story and game design.

Developed by FromSoftware, the title is set in feudal Japan and was honored as Game of the Year in 2019, thanks to its focus on honor and redemption. Now, new speculations suggest that we might enjoy this universe in a different format.

Sekiro could have its own anime

Recently, it has been reported that Kadokawa Corporation, the parent company of FromSoftware, has registered the domain “SEKIRO-ANIME.JP”. This registration, made on July 31, 2025, has fueled speculation about a possible animated adaptation of the game, with an active period extending until 2026. While there has been no official confirmation, the move suggests that plans are underway for a project related to Sekiro.

According to leaked information from ResetEra, the studio responsible for the animation would be Qzil.la, known for its work on Hell’s Paradise. This team, despite being relatively young and having only completed one season in previous projects, suggests that we could expect a compact high-quality production, focused on the intensity of the battles that characterize the original game.

The possibility of a Sekiro anime not only excites fans but could also pave the way for future animated adaptations of other FromSoftware titles. On the other hand, there has also been talk of a movie project based on Elden Ring, directed by Alex Garland and with Kit Connor as a possible lead. Although there are no concrete details about this film, the interest in adaptations of FromSoftware’s universes continues to grow, marking a new chapter in their narrative legacy.

A speedrunner breaks the record for Dark Souls 3 by completing the game in less time than it takes you to defeat one of its bosses

In an astonishing display of skill and strategy, the speedrunner known as Olzku has managed to complete Dark Souls 3 in a record time of 24 minutes and 57 seconds, surpassing the previous mark by almost a minute. This achievement is especially impressive considering the notorious difficulty of the game, which has challenged players since its release. Much faster than the previous record, Olzku has used a variety of clever tactics to speed up his progress, avoiding unnecessary fights and taking advantage of game glitches.

Much more faster than the previous brand

Olzku has used a variety of clever tactics to speed up his progress, avoiding unnecessary fights and taking advantage of game glitches. From the beginning, his handling of the game is remarkable; quickly defeating Gundyr and avoiding most enemies that could slow down his time. As he progresses, the run transforms into a true spectacle, with moments of skill that seem to defy the very mechanics of the game.

One of the highlights occurs in the Wolnir area, where Olzku uses a trick that allows him to exit the map, thus saving a significant amount of time. This not only demonstrates the malleability of the game’s design, but also adds a comedic element to what would otherwise be a formidable challenge. Later, during the confrontation with Aldrich, Olzku’s character becomes invisible, except for the torch he carries, allowing him to float in the air, adding a new dimension to the speedrun.

This new record has raised the question among speedrunning community enthusiasts: how much more can this time be improved? With the challenge of surpassing the now established 25-minute barrier, the community may be ready to work on optimizing routes and gameplay strategies. The full video of Olzku’s feat is highly recommended for those looking for a new perspective on the famous difficulty of Dark Souls 3; it will surely change the way its fearsome bosses are viewed.

The game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has significantly improved its rating on Steam, moving from an ‘Extremely Negative’ state to ‘Mixed’, with 40% of reviews being positive. This recovery comes after the implementation of an emergency patch that addressed performance issues that affected its initial launch, allowing Wuchang to break free from a cycle of overwhelmingly negative reviews.

A game whose performance on PC was terrible

Developer Leenzee issued a public apology on July 28, acknowledging the inconveniences players experienced and thanking them for their patience. In their message, the team emphasized that every opinion and suggestion from users is a valuable foundation for their upcoming efforts in the game. These statements point to a focus on community feedback, seeking to address criticisms to improve the overall experience.

Additionally, Leenzee plans to offer additional rewards to the owners of the Deluxe Edition, who had difficulties claiming their exclusive items. These players will receive not only a free digital code for the Fallen Feathers soundtrack but also luxury cosmetics and weapons. This compensation strategy seems to be an attempt to regain the trust of the player base.

Future updates will also include performance improvements and adjustments in various aspects of the game, such as difficulty levels and boss encounters. This intention of adaptation resonates with the nature of the game, which is described as a Soulslike that merges elements of Sekiro and Dark Souls 3, attracting fans of FromSoftware titles.

With these changes, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers seems to be on a path to redemption, improving not only its image on digital platforms but also the experience of its player community.
