Over the weekend, Twitter’s hearsay mill began spinning up once more, as a number of accounts posted all kinds of teasery information about Bloodborne probably getting PC and PlayStation 5 ports. None of that is official, after all, although it’s sort of paying homage to when related rumours began going round about PlayStation unique Horizon Zero Dawn earlier this yr – and that’s coming out on PC this summer. So, it appears at the least considerably probably that Bloodborne may very well be subsequent in line, so let’s check out what we find out about this hearsay to date.
It all kicked off when streamer “CaseyExplosion” offered to donate $100 to a racial justice charity if somebody would leak some “juicy details” about any upcoming Bloodborne information. And it looks as if somebody really did take her up on that supply, as a result of the following tweet was a screenshot of said money being donated, adopted by a thread “confirming” that Bloodborne would certainly be making its technique to PC.
“Yes Bloodborne *will* be coming to PC,” she wrote. “I’ve had it confirmed by a very trusted source, and I have a lot of faith in the company who’s doing the port, you won’t be disappointed. It genuinely is happening.”
Once this all began circulating, a number of games trade people chimed in to validate the hearsay additional.
“Not going to comment specifically on Bloodborne on PC rumors, but suffice to say From Soft fans probably have a lot of reasons to be happy in the next two years,” tweeted former Game Informer editor Imran Khan.
A YouTube video by the channel “PC Gaming Inquisition” went up shortly after, going even additional to assert that Bloodborne can be coming to Steam, and that Bluepoint Games are serving to with the port – a studio who’re allegedly engaged on a Demon’s Souls remake.
If you’re not had the possibility to play 2015’s Bloodborne, it’s a superb gothic motion RPG from Dark Souls builders, From Software. Now, all these tweets and rumours from individuals with their secret sources needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Having stated that, the game is revealed by Sony, and a PC port would make a number of sense contemplating they sort of insinuated that they want more PlayStation exclusives to come to PC. Back when Horizon’s PC launch was introduced, Hermen Hulst, head of Sony’s Worldwide Studios stated he thought it was necessary to “stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation and show people maybe what they’ve been missing out on.”
And from the viewpoint of somebody who loves Bloodborne with all their coronary heart, I feel it’d be a bloody sensible concept. I imply, contemplating Sony’s catalogue of unique stuff, it’s a fairly secure possibility for them, proper? Bloodborne is already well-loved, and there’s an present fanbase of Dark Souls gamers on PC who I’m positive would love a brand new FromSoft game to get caught into (in the event that they haven’t been in a position to play Bloodborne already).
It amazes me to at the present time that the Soulsborne games have such an energetic participant base nonetheless. I’ve performed each Bloodborne and Dark Souls three not too long ago and there are all the time a number of useful cooperators to summon in at bosses (or a number of unhelpful invaders who fancy a scuffle). But even nonetheless, it’s nothing in comparison with when these games first launched. What I’d give to return to when Bloodborne first got here out, and be capable to see the spirits of so many gamers wandering by way of the identical areas as you. In a game that in any other case makes you are feeling very alone, there’s an amazing sense of group when you may really see different gamers dealing with the identical trials as you.
I’m simply so excited for PC gamers to expertise Bloodborne. If you’ve performed Dark Souls you’ll perceive the form of group facets I imply – all that point spent summoning in allies and making an attempt to determine FromSoft’s obscure lore collectively. I feel I’ve reached a degree the place I’m simply making an attempt to will this PC port into existence, and I haven’t even gotten to the half the place I yammer on about how Bloodborne’s fight can be sooooo a lot nicer in 60fps.
But I digress, possibly Sony will formally bless us with some superior Bloodborne information within the close to future. I reckon it’s probably, what about you, pricey reader?
And what else would you want Sony port to PC? Some of the PlayStation exclusives we’d love to see are issues like Ratchet And Clank, Shadow Of The Colossus and Marvel’s Spider-Man.
