FromSoftware president andBloodborne’s director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has acknowledged the demand for the popular 2015 action-role-playing game to be remade, but hasn’t confirmed if one is ever going to happen.

Speaking in a newinterview with Eurogamer, Miyazaki stated that he’s “very happy” so many fans are asking for a remake to happen, and said that “those passionate voices in the community” make the team behind the game “feel thrilled.” Noting that the team has a lot of “specific memories” ofBloodborne, he added: “It makes us feel very fortunate to have that and to have those memories.”

Earlier in the interview, he acknowledged the benefits of remakes, and said that new hardware can sometimes make things possible that just couldn’t be done in the original releases of games, such as ways to “render specific expressions.”

He also pointed out that bringing games to modern hardware simply allows more players to experience them. “I think that accessibility is important. I think that can be the driving force between bringing an old game to a new platform,” he said.

However,speaking to IGNabout the topic, Miyazaki stated that “it’s not in my place to talk aboutBloodbornespecifically” since FromSoftware doesn’t own the IP,Sonydoes. He reiterated that he thinks “it was a great project,” but ultimately, “we’re not at liberty to speak to it."

So, fans have no official hints as to whether they can ever expectBloodborneto make a return on current-generation hardware. Previously, it was released as aPlayStation 4exclusive, and so much of the fan demand has centered around bringing the title toPlayStation 5and PC.

For now, players will just have to focus their attention onShadow of the Erdtree- the upcoming expansion for FromSoftware’s open-world RPGElden Ring. Theexpansion received its first trailer yesterday(February 21), which gave fans their first look at the game’s new location and enemies, as well as the confirmation of that all-important release date.Shadow of the Erdtreeis set to launch on June 21.
