The dark streets of Yharnam are calling, and this time, they might be running at 60fps, as there are new rumors about a remastered version of Bloodborne coming to PC and PlayStation 5 in the future. Bloodborne is considered to be one of the finest games ever produced by FromSoftware, and it's easily one of the best PlayStation 4 exclusives.
Bloodborne is an action RPG set around the vast city of Yharnam, whose residents have been afflicted by a blood disease that has transformed them into hideous monsters. The player takes on the role of one of the last hunters, who must carve their way through hordes of beasts in order to learn the truth behind the fall of Yharnam. Bloodborne refined the combat system of Dark Souls into one focused on offense and speed, which led to an electrifying gameplay experience. The incredible gameplay, coupled with the fantastic visuals and haunting soundtrack, made Bloodborne one of the most beautiful games of its generation.
It's expected that Bloodborne will be one of the 4000 games backward compatible with the PS5, but it seems that a new version of the game could be on the way. According to PC Games Inquisition on YouTube (vis Nibellion on Twitter), there is a rumor that a remaster of Bloodborne is coming to PC and PS5 soon and that Bluepoint Games and QLOC are developing it. The remastered version of the game will feature better textures & models, faster load times, and more quality of life improvements. There is currently no word regarding new content for the game, but it will support 60 FPS, 4K, and ultra-widescreen support. Modders have managed to create a 60 FPS version of Bloodborne for PC in the past, but this will be an official version that will hopefully run a lot smoother. The PC version is supposedly coming to Steam.
It has been possible to play Bloodborne on PC through PlayStation Now in the past, but fans have wanted a PC version of the game for the longest time. Bloodborne has the potential to be far more impressive, but it had to deal with the limitations of the PlayStation 4's hardware. Bloodborne could be vastly improved on PC, which is to say nothing of what the game could achieve on PlayStation 5.
FromSoftware fans have been asking for a sequel to Bloodborne for the longest time, but the company's attention is currently fixed on the upcoming Elden Ring, of which we still know very little. A full return to Yharnam might not be on the cards just yet, but a revamped version of the original Bloodborne should be enough to bring the fans back in droves and for the hunt to be called once more.
Bloodborne is available now for PlayStation 4.
