For a long time, a burning question among PlayStation fans has been why Bloodborne remains untouched. Well, Shuhei Yoshida, who just exited the company, has offered his theory on the subject.

Speaking to Kinda Funny Games in a recent interview, Yoshida says that the beloved FromSoftware action RPG is "one of the most popular asks on my Twitter/X" and that "people wonder why [Sony hasn't] done anything" with it.

Indeed, people often mention an update to the existing PS4 version, or a remake, or a remaster. Despite fans constantly requesting Sony to revisit Bloodborne, it hasn't yet, and Yoshida has a "personal theory" why.

Stressing that he "left first-party" and so doesn't know the exact situation, he essentially thinks that game director Hidetaka Miyazaki is simply too busy to make it happen.

"Miyazaki-san really really loved Bloodborne, what he created," Yoshida recalls. "So I think he is interested, but he's so successful and he's so busy, so he cannot do it himself, but he doesn't want anyone else to touch it. And the PlayStation team respects his wish. That's my theory."

It certainly does make sense, although Miyazaki has suggested in previous interviews that the ball is more in Sony's court than his.

Hopefully FromSoftware and PlayStation can reunite and agree on a forward plan for the game, because it's very clear that it's something people want.
