The Game Awards’ big announcement is definitely not Bloodborne 2, but I might have accidentally started a conspiracy about it
Welcome back, Bloodborne dreamers. As ever, the nightmare continues, and this time it's The Game Awards-flavored.
You know that demonic statue in the desert that Geoff Keighley is teasing? I think I accidentally created this latest conspiracy, and I am sorry. In my recent iteration of copium and hopium, I filled in the blanks to a Twitter/X reply with some well-known Bloodborne 2 fan art, and my notifications haven't been the same since.

If you're new to the Bloodborne fandom, welcome. We do this all the time. Ever since the first game launched for the PS4 (and stayed there) back in 2015, fans have been praying to the Old Ones for a sequel, or even a re-release or remaster. And we have not given up.
Many believe that it's From Software's best work, both from a gameplay perspective and worldbuilding/lore. Its unique combat featured off-hand weapons like guns used to parry foes, and transforming weapons that offered different attack styles have had many bloodthirsty for more ever since.
Whenever there's a gaming industry event, like a PlayStation State of Play or any other kind of live stream where games are revealed, we mercilessly and unreasonably hope and believe that Bloodborne will be back. But the issue with this latest cope is that I suppose some people saw my biography on Twitter/X and thought there was some credence to the rumor.
I regret to tell you all that I know nothing about potential Bloodborne news. I was just being a hopium Hunter once again. Some people understood, but others have been in my replies taking it as some sort of hope or even a report that this is actually happening. I'm sorry, gamers, but it's not.
Or maybe it is? I haven't heard anything, and neither has seemingly anyone else, but when TGA's account posted that "redacted"-style tease, naturally I had to make it about Bloodborne , because we are all hoping for From Software's return to the IP to one day come to fruition.
A lot of the people interacting with the post (over 143,000 views since Friday) are hopefully just like me and along for the joke or ride, but if anyone felt deceived or false hope about it, then welcome to the land of delusion that we all live in.
The sad reality is that Bloodborne 2 or even a Bloodborne PC port or remaster is unlikely. Last year, From Software CEO Hidetaka Miyazaki remarked that he knew some of his devs want the port to happen , but in the end, the game and IP are both owned by Sony. For whatever reason (likely money or legal reasons), the PlayStation company hasn't pulled the trigger on this project, which has become a passion for modders via emulation on PC instead.

But anyway, I've had a good time reading the replies on Twitter/X this weekend. There are so many people just like me who know that a sequel or port is not happening, but we continue to cling to the delusional dream that the Elden Ring and Armored Core studio will roll back the clock to 2015 one more time.
I refuse to give up hope. I will continue to yearn for returning to Yharnam one day. It's just probably not happening any time soon, and definitely not this Thursday on Geoff Keighley's yearly awards show and advertisement exposition.
