For years now, Bloodborne followers have wished the standard PS4-exclusive RPG ported to PC, hopefully with efficiency enhancements and graphical choices. And whereas FromSoftware’s president Hidetaka Miyazaki didn’t verify that such a port is going on, he did say he’s not against it and prompt that many individuals on the studio need a PC port to occur.
Launched almost a decade in the past in 2017 completely for PlayStation 4, Bloodborne is one in every of FromSoftware’s (Darkish Souls, Elden Ring) hottest and beloved video games. Like lots of its different video games, Bloodborne is a tough-as-nails motion RPG that includes intense boss battles and plenty of secrets and techniques. Nonetheless, in contrast to lots of FromSoftware’s RPGs, Bloodborne has by no means been ported to different platforms. It stays caught on PS4. That’s led to folks asking again and again for the Sony-owned Bloodborne to get a PC port. And it appears like, whereas Miyazaki doesn’t have something to announce, he appears into the concept of this fan-favorite RPG lastly being playable on one thing aside from a PS4.
In an interview with Miyazaki, PC Gamer requested the president if he would personally wish to see Bloodborne ported to PC someday.
“I do know for a truth these guys need a Bloodborne PC port,” mentioned Miyazaki in reference to FromSoftware employees sitting with him throughout the interview. Nonetheless, he shortly added that if he says he needs a port he’ll “get in hassle” however that he’s not “opposed” to a PC model.
“Clearly, as one of many creators of Bloodborne, my private, pure trustworthy opinion is I’d love extra gamers to have the ability to get pleasure from it,” mentioned Miyazaki. “Particularly as a recreation that’s now coming of age, a kind of video games of the previous that will get misplaced on older {hardware}—I feel any recreation like that, it’d be good to have a chance for extra gamers to have the ability to expertise that and relive this relic of the previous. So so far as I’m involved, that’s positively not one thing I’d be against.”
In fact, whereas it’s good to listen to that the president of FromSoftware needs a Bloodborne PC port, it doesn’t imply one is going on. Keep in mind, FromSoftware doesn’t personal the Bloodborne IP, Sony does. And till Sony decides to fund a port, remaster, or remake, all FromSoftware can do is vaguely go “Yeah, we wish one, too!” and that’s it.
Hopefully, as we close to the sport’s tenth anniversary subsequent yr, Sony will understand that they’ve a literal goldmine on their fingers and all the corporate has to do is publish a teaser for Bloodborne on Steam and it is going to be flooded with pre-orders earlier than it even shares a trailer. On the very least, we all know everybody at FromSoftware is down for a port. Now we wait to see what Sony needs…
