With three decades spent at Sony, Shuhei Yoshida is a genuine veteran of the games industry, which lends this specific theory a little more credibility. But as he’s quick to specify, this isn’t insider information; it’s just a theory.

It has been many years since we last heard anything about a new Bloodborne game, despite there clearly being demand for one.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is tapping the brakes on claims of success by President Biden, President-elect Trump and partners in the Middle East that a ceasefire and hostage release deal has been achieved to pause 15 months of war.

Sony has had no problem remastering games for PS5, whether that's Demon's Souls at launch or even The Last of Us: Part II Remastered last year. However, Bloodborne continues to go untouched and still hasn't received a PC port. Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida has a theory about why that might be.

And is that after its release in 2015, and its subsequent expansion, The Old Hunters, if it has come to be considered a new installment, a PC version, or a remastering, none of them has come to see the light.

Fans of FromSoftware’s PlayStation 4 masterpiece have begged for more ever since the game launched to critical and commercial acclaim a decade ago.
