Bloodborne Mentioned: Director Calls it a 'Special Game' and the 'Strongest Reflection' of Himself 1

For many, PS4 exclusive Bloodborne is considered one of FromSoftware's top games, if not its best to date.

The atmospheric Souls-like action RPG left a big impression on players with its brilliant art direction, haunting soundtrack, and engaging, challenging combat.

It's a favourite for many fans, but it sounds like it's very important to its director, Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Speaking to Game Informer, he says Bloodborne is "a special game for me", and says there are a couple of reasons why. The first is that it was a particularly tough game to produce, describing it as "probably the most challenging development cycle we've had from a studio perspective."

A more personal reason, though, is how much of himself he put into the game. "I've imparted a lot of my own ideas into this game," Miyazaki says, "whether it be the story, the world-building component, or even the game mechanics and the game systems that are in place."

He concludes his comments on Bloodborne by calling it "perhaps the strongest reflection of my type of flavouring of a game that one can experience."

So, if you wanted to know which of Miyazaki's games is the most him, you have your answer.

Bloodborne is still (officially) only available to play on PS4, and fans have been calling out for a port to PC and PS5, as well as a remaster and even a sequel.

Unfortunately, while there have appeared to be clues over the years, it seems Sony isn't making any moves with the game right now. Last year was its 10th anniversary, and there was basically nothing to mark the occasion.

Fans will continue to fly the flag for Bloodborne until it's revisited in some way; whether Sony ever does take action is unclear, but it'd be daft not to, right?
