Fan-made Bloodborne projects continue to face copyright takedowns. Following last week's takedown of the Bloodborne 60fps mod, the Bloodborne PSX demake is now the target.
Lance McDonald, creator of the Bloodborne 60fps mod, confirmed a DMCA takedown notice from Sony Interactive Entertainment, prompting the removal of online links to his patch. This action comes four years after the mod's release.
Lilith Walther, creator of the Bloodborne PSX demake, reported a copyright claim by MarkScan Enforcement on a YouTube video showcasing the project. McDonald revealed MarkScan is a company contracted by Sony, the same entity responsible for the DMCA takedown of his 60fps patch. He expressed bewilderment at Sony's actions, questioning their motivations.
Bloodborne's continued absence from next-gen platforms fuels fan speculation. While a 60fps patch, remaster, or sequel remains unannounced, recent breakthroughs in PS4 emulation, allowing for a near-remaster experience on PC at 60fps, have added fuel to the debate. Sony has yet to comment on this situation or the potential connection to the increased DMCA activity.
McDonald posited a theory that Sony's actions are preemptive, aiming to clear the way for an official 60fps remake announcement. He suggests this would prevent conflicts between fan projects and official releases in search results.
Despite the aggressive copyright enforcement, Sony has offered no official indication of future Bloodborne plans. Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida offered a personal theory, suggesting that Hidetaka Miyazaki's strong attachment to the game and his desire to maintain creative control prevents any official updates or remasters. Miyazaki himself has previously acknowledged the game's suitability for modern hardware.
Bloodborne remains absent from current-gen platforms nearly a decade after its release, leaving fans hopeful, yet uncertain, about its future.
