Tasking studios to make gaas/ dedicated online game
Bloodborne 7,5 m is great i think it sold more than the recent gears of war game on xbox
Not bad for a niche ip
Bluepoint studios are the one in charge to make bloodborne 2 but i havent heard any updates since 2021

Time and resources From has available. They have only 300 development staff and they probably had projects lined up well before bloodborne even shipped. So they could just shift into a bb two whenever they wanted. Bandai wanted DS3, From wanted to work on Elden, Ring Sekiro and Armed core. Also after 2020 Sony didn’t have Japan studio anymore to help out on bb2. Supposedly they are work on a game for Sony now which is supposed to be either a spiritual successor to bb or something entirely different.
Also Sony tried giving bloodbourne to virtuoso to remasters but they botched it and Sony wasn’t happy with the way they botched the horizon zero dawn pc port so they pulled the game. If From is going to do it and Blue Point isn’t Sonys next best bet would be neowiz who Sony was rumored to want to invest in or strike a publishing deal with.
From is extremely busy since Bloodborne came out. It's not as easy as you think to get something out fast.
Miyazaki: Sony wants Bloodborne 2? Here it is
Same as Days Gone. The fans want Days Gone 2 but Bend decided to do something else. Who's gonna make it?

I think Sony doesn't force developers to do projects they don't want to, from everything we know the studio leads pitch a project to sony hq. I bet no one pitched BB2. But imo they should hire Bluepoint up to be a premier studio and have the new hires work on BB remake like Naughty Dog has its new hires work on the TLoU remake projects
But somebody else is working on it
Report: Bloodborne 2 in development at Bluepoint along with a PS5 remaster of the original game | TheSixthAxis
Rumours of a Bloodborne remaster for PS5 have been floating around for quite a while and if the latest gossip is to be believed Bloodborne 2 is also in
www.thesixthaxis.com
At this point I believe Fromsoft is no longer interested. Elden Ring is a mega succes. They just stick to their own IPs and drop all sort of 3rd party publishers. Why go back to Bloodborne where most of the revenue goes to Sony.
Well sometimes Playstation and most video games studios dont do the smartest thing.
The smart move would of been to buy Fromsoft. They havent.
Lets see if they are smart enough to pay him for another exclusive, Bloodborne 2 or a new Ip would be great and theres no excuses why the partnership wouldnt happen

Elden Ring reaching Skyrim and Zelda status. Too huge of a success to bother revisiting similar game series.
I prefer Bloodborne but am fully prepared to never see a proper sequel from FROM. Sony may have missed that boat. Although the right deal could always make it happen.
I think Sony will make it internally but … eh that doesn’t count. I’d just rather buy the next FROM game over that.

Doesn't count why? If anything, it would run better and have better production value. Demons Souls on PS5 shits all over Elden Ring performance and production value wise.
They might not want to do it, it doesn't really make financial sense when they can work on IPs like Elden Ring and Sony might not be interested.
Sony fucked up by not acquiring From Software when they were dirt cheap, is something I'll never understand given that they had made Demon's Souls and Dark Souls already and were about to release Bloodborne, it's an absurd lack of vision from Sony leadership at the time.

What? It’s someone else’s game. Demons Souls isn’t some original work. It’s someone else’s game copy, pasted and remastered.
Bloodborne 2 not made by Miyazaki and/or From is not a proper sequel. You need Miyazaki. Creators over IPs.
There is nothing to suggest Sony has the internal devs needed to make a souls game. Blue point is a cover band studio at this point until they prove otherwise.
Demon's Souls is a literal remake, not a remaster. It improves on pretty much everything the original game had to offer, and is more stable and performant than any of the Souls games to this day.
Also, Miyazaki did not direct Dark Souls 2, and yet that game was better reviewed than both Demons' Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 3.
It improves on surface level stuff. The gameplay and level design, art direction, setting, boss designs and encounters… that’s all FROM. Someone’s ability to rip that out of one game and put it into another is not enough to claim they can make a sequel to it. No friggin way.
Dark Souls 2 stinks, I'll replay DS1 and DS3 a thousand times before I ever come back to DS2.
None of that addresses what I said.
Demons Souls > Any Souls game in terms of performance, stability, and graphics. You can spin this any way you want.
Also, convenient that you ignored this:
“performance is better” … I didn’t address it because who gives a shit. That was their only job… to modernize someone else’s game.
I’m well aware DS2 wasn’t directed by Miyazaki. It’s the game fans are most divided on. Not the best example. I played the fuck out of scholar of first sin but DS2 is usually shit on.
It would be fine if Miyazaki only served as producer and still developed at from. I mentioned above Miyazaki and/or Fromsoft. Bloodborne 2 by any other studio would only be a sequel in name.
