Bloodborne 2 Likely Not Present at The Game Awards

For fans eager to revisit the haunting streets of Yharnam, recent updates suggest they may need to curb their expectations, as any notion of Bloodborne making a comeback soon has been quashed.

The anticipation surrounding potential new content from the Bloodborne franchise—whether in the form of a PS5 remaster, an updated patch, or even a sequel—has been amplified by Sony’s ongoing efforts to acquire Kadokawa. This acquisition could potentially place FromSoftware and its vast array of intellectual properties under Sony’s umbrella.

During a recent episode of The Kinda Funny Podcast, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier hinted at some major announcements slated for The Game Awards 2024. His comments sparked a flurry of speculation among fans on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours Reddit about what the surprise titles could be.

Bloodborne Not on the TGA Agenda

One Reddit user, RecentCalligrapher82, speculated that Bloodborne might be among the anticipated announcements at the upcoming Game Awards. However, their hopes were dashed when Schreier directly refuted this claim, indicating that it wasn’t a title they had heard mentioned.

Given the immense enthusiasm surrounding any news of Bloodborne, it’s clear that a revelation related to the game would be worthy of top billing at the awards. However, Schreier’s response seems to indicate that Bloodborne isn’t in the spotlight for this event.

There may still be obstacles to a revival or sequel announcement for Bloodborne, particularly due to the complexities surrounding the Kadokawa acquisition. If any projects were already in development, Sony might prefer to finalize its control over FromSoftware before making any public announcements.

While speculation arose from Sony’s recent PlayStation 30th anniversary video, where hints of a Bloodborne project might have been included, the company is not in dire need of new reveals. With a blockbuster year ahead for the PlayStation 5 and the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 likely driving sales in 2025, the urgency for immediate announcements is less pressing.

Fans shouldn’t lose hope for Bloodborne’s potential return, whether through a performance upgrade for the original game, a remaster, or even a sequel. Nevertheless, those looking forward to seeing Bloodborne 2 at The Game Awards 2024 may need to temper their expectations, especially if the latest insights hold true.
