Bluepoint pitched Bloodborne remake and was turned down, then the studio shut down

Bloomberg reports Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake in early 2025, but FromSoftware reportedly rejected it; the piece also notes Bluepoint’s broader struggles within Sony, including a canceled God of War live-service project and other pitched remakes like Shadow of the Colossus that never got greenlit. By February 2026 the studio had been without a new project for over a year and announced its closure, with staff exploring opportunities elsewhere.

Sony shuts down fan-made Bloodborne Diablo-inspired project over IP claims

Indie developer Maxime Foulquier says Sony sent a March 2025 cease-and-desist letter (via DLA Piper) to halt his Bloodborne: Top Down Arena, an isometric Diablo-like fan game set in the Bloodborne universe. Sony asserts ownership of Bloodborne IP and trademarks across multiple regions; the developer says he repurposed assets but planned to discuss the letter once the game was ready. The move follows past actions against fan projects (e.g., Bloodborne Kart) and comes as Bluepoint Games closes; Bloodborne remains a PS4 exclusive with no remake/remaster in sight.
