Sony used CinemaCon in April 2026<\/strong> to announce an R-rated animated Bloodborne<\/a> movie, with YouTuber Jacksepticeye on board as a producer. His real name is Se\u00e1n McLoughlin.<\/p>\n

McLoughlin says 80%<\/strong> of the response to his involvement has been skeptical, which makes sense. Bloodborne fans are intensely protective of that game, and with no remaster, no PC release, and no sequel<\/a> in sight, a movie announcement was always going to bring just as much frustration as excitement.<\/p>\n\n

Sony revealed the project at CinemaCon in April 2026 through PlayStation Productions and Lyrical Animation, but from what the company actually shared, this still sounds early<\/strong>. There’s no director, no writer, no cast, and no release date yet. McLoughlin has said the film won’t retell the game, won’t compete with it, and won’t try to improve on it. The plan is to tell a new story in the same universe while keeping the tone, atmosphere, and mythology intact.<\/p>\n\n

If you care about Bloodborne, this is the kind of project to watch carefully. McLoughlin says the game matters to him personally because it’s his favorite<\/strong>; he’s called the movie a dream come true and the greatest honor of his life. He also says he has real input as a \u201cvibe checker,\u201d including influence over the direction and even hiring.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
