Bloodborne Remake by Fan Blocked by Sony, Developer Was Hoping Bluepoint Was Working on An Official One
The announcement of Bluepoint Studios’ closure has shocked the gaming world. Known for its work on Demon’s Souls, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and much more, the studio had built a strong reputation over the years.
Many are wondering how a studio that had grown steadily over the years could be treated this way. Among those disappointed is developer Maxime Foulquier, who shared a story loosely connected to the situation, showing just how much Bluepoint’s work was valued by PlayStation fans.
Sony Blocked Fan’s Bloodborne Remake, He Said Nothing Because He Hoped Bluepoint Was Working on It
Foulquier said that Sony stopped him from making a Bloodborne remake. In fact, it was more of a small game inspired by Bloodborne, set in the same world. He also shared the cease-and-desist letter he received from Sony’s lawyers, telling him to stop the project. At the time, he did not react badly because he thought it might mean that Bluepoint was already working on an official remake.
“With the closure of Bluepoint Studio, now feels like the right time to share something,” Foulquier wrote on X. “Sony sent me a cease and desist letter regarding my second Bloodborne remake project that I posted about in November 2024.”
“I was incredibly excited about this project and worked on it a lot in my spare time. Then I received the letter you can see here. I told myself, ‘Okay… I expected this might happen. Maybe it’s because a real Bloodborne remake is actually in development, with Bluepoint leading it for the PS6 launch?’” Clearly, that was not the case, as recent events have shown.
He added, “I didn’t say anything in March 2025 because I decided to repurpose all the assets I had created for that project into a new game set in my own universe, inspired by Bloodborne. My plan was to reveal the letter once the game was ready to communicate.”
“Unfortunately, plans have changed. I’d rather speak about it now, as my disappointment is immense. The disappearance of Bluepoint is a tremendous loss for the industry and for the dream of a Bloodborne remake,” he explained.
At one point, Foulquier openly questioned Sony’s choices: “Why are you making such absurd decisions, Sony?” He ended his message on a bitter note: “Shutting down such a talented studio while you’re not even making a Bloodborne remake and on top of that, sending cease and desist letters to small fan projects? Are you serious?”
