Last week'south postponed PS5 event would have been more than only a reveal of the hardware, with glimpses at some of the upcoming games taking reward of all that new processing ability. But according to a couple of sources, at least i of the new titles would look more than than a picayune familiar if you lot've methodically worked your manner through the best PS4 games over the last few years.

Yes, patently From Software's Bloodborne will be getting the remaster handling. The report was initially shared past streamer CaseyExplosion who said it came from a "trusted source," and that the game improved version would exist coming to both PS5 and PC.

Now, I said earlier I'd share more than info about it. So, what I tin confirm is that it's not merely a PC port of Bloodborne, what was supposed to exist revealed today was a Bloodborne Remastered/Hard disk drive edition that was coming for PS5 and PC. I don't know of whatever release date as of all the same.June 5, 2020

One person's tweet should normally exist taken with a whole shaker of common salt, simply the rumor has been given a chip more credence by being built on by Wario64 who shared a video which put a bit more than meat on the bones.

"Bloodborne is getting a remaster - exclusive details about PC and PS5 ports" https://t.co/2qSI6QMk1Walso mentions that Sony's PS5 result will be closing out with Demon'southward Souls remake (PS5 exclusive for now), and other Sony games are getting PC portsJune five, 2020

To spare you 4 footage-costless minutes, the video claims that the Bloodborne remaster is being worked on by Bluepoint Games (which fabricated PS4 remasters of Uncharted, Gravity Rush and Shadows of the Colossus) in tandem with QLOC, which recently put out the remaster of Dark Souls. Apparently the reworked code will hit 60fps and 4K resolution, and volition do something about those painfully long loading times besides. Exciting stuff.

But what nigh the PC port? Doesn't the very idea of Sony putting a PS4 exclusive on Windows ten computers pour cold water on this whole thing? Not whatsoever more. The likes of Horizon Zip Dawn, Death Stranding and Detroit: Become Human will all make the move from living room to desktop this twelvemonth, and it would certainly make sense for Bloodborne to follow, given the success Dark Souls has enjoyed in PC land.

Not everything gets the green light for PC, of course, and on that subject field in that location is one other note worth highlighting from the video above: "Sony is planning to close the upcoming PlayStation event with a Demon's Souls remake which is going to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive," the vox over says.

The video goes on to explicate that this doesn't necessarily mean it'll never come up to PC, only that Sony's strategy is to at to the lowest degree keep some exclusivity to give players a reason to invest in a PlayStation 5, rather than, say, putting all that money into a new graphics menu.

These remain rumors for now, of course, but if nix else, the internet's collective excitement should give Sony the impetus it needs to ensure that Souls crawling is well and truly scratched on next-generation hardware.
