Bloodborne Remake Rumors Revive After PlayStation 30th Anniversary Trailer Drops

PlayStation's 30th Anniversary sparks Bloodborne Remake rumors and more!

The recent PlayStation 30th-anniversary trailer reignited speculation about a potential Bloodborne remake or sequel. The trailer, featuring a montage of iconic PlayStation games, concluded with Bloodborne and the caption "It's about persistence," fueling fan excitement.

While other games in the trailer had captions reflecting their themes (e.g., "It's about fantasy" for Final Fantasy VII), Bloodborne's closing placement and caption ignited a wave of online discussion. This isn't the first time such speculation has arisen; a previous Instagram post by PlayStation Italia showcasing Bloodborne locations also generated similar buzz. However, Sony has yet to officially comment on any Bloodborne updates. The "persistence" caption could simply acknowledge the game's notoriously high difficulty.

Alongside the anniversary celebrations, Sony released a PS5 update offering limited-time UI customization options, including themes inspired by past PlayStation consoles. This update allows players to personalize their PS5 home screen's look and sound effects, harkening back to previous console generations.

The temporary nature of this UI update has drawn mixed reactions, with some expressing disappointment and others speculating it might be a test for broader future customization features.

Further fueling the excitement, Digital Foundry recently corroborated Bloomberg's report on Sony's development of a new handheld console to compete in the portable gaming market currently dominated by Nintendo Switch. While Sony remains tight-lipped, the possibility of a PlayStation handheld is gaining traction. This move is seen as a logical response to the growing popularity of mobile gaming.

Meanwhile, Nintendo, already a leader in the handheld market, plans to reveal more information about the Nintendo Switch's successor later this fiscal year, potentially intensifying the competition.
