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.

"Valve's Decision on Portal 64 Demake Explained by Developer"

Valve pulled a fan's Nintendo 64 demake of Portal from Steam not because it infringed on Portal's IP, but because it used Nintendo-owned libraries. The developer, James Lambert, urged people not to be mad at Valve, as the decision was to avoid potential legal issues with Nintendo. Despite the disappointment, Lambert is moving on to develop his own game to avoid similar issues and has emphasized the need for clarity in the legally gray area of fan projects.
