Rumors have been swirling for months that the PlayStation 4 exclusive game Bloodborne is set to get a PS5 remaster. While nothing official has been announced to date, a listing by a French retailer may be more evidence that a Bloodborne remaster is indeed in the works.
French retailer Fnac, who accurately leaked the PS5 pre-order date, had a listing for an unannounced Bloodborne PS5 game. Mention of the game has since been removed, and it's entirely possible that it was listed by mistake. But since Fnac accurately leaked the PS5 pre-order date, fans are paying a bit more attention to this "leak" than they would otherwise.
This is far from the first time that we've heard of a potential Bloodborne PS5 remaster. Earlier this summer, rumors and leaks pointed to not only a Bloodborne PC port, but an upgraded Bloodborne on PS5. Whether or not there's any truth to that remains to be seen, but this Fnac listing could very well be taken as further evidence that the critically-acclaimed PS4 exclusive is indeed making its way to the PS5 at some point down the line.
Technically, Bloodborne will be playable on the PS5 at launch, just not in the form of an upgraded port. While fans wait for news on the Bloodborne PS5 remaster, they can play the game on their system through the system's backward compatibility program. Not only that, but even some PlayStation gamers who don't own Bloodborne could very well get the chance to play through the game on day one for PS5.
As it so happens, Bloodborne is part of the PlayStation Plus Collection program. For the uninitiated, Sony is making a big change to PlayStation Plus with PS5, giving PS Plus subscribers on PS5 access to some of the PS4's biggest exclusive games. So it should be fairly easy for PS5 gamers to play Bloodborne on the new system, regardless of whether or not the rumored remaster exists.
Meanwhile, some fans may be more interested in hearing about a potential Bloodborne 2. If Bloodborne 2 does exist, it's unlikely to be seen anytime soon. Right now, From Software is busy developing Elden Ring with George R.R. Martin, and so a potential Bloodborne sequel will have to wait. Fans of From Software's work will be able to play the Demon's Souls remake at launch, though, with the remake being handled by Shadow of the Colossus remake studio Bluepoint Games.
Bloodborne is out now for PS4.
