As much as it pains me to say it, perhaps we should stop inhaling copium and accept that FromSoftware has truly moved on from Bloodborne.
Look, it hurts me as much as it hurts you to acknowledge that fact, but we’re running out of reasons to keep clowning.
FromSoftware is clearly interested in squeezing Elden Ring of all it’s got to offer with the upcoming co-op spin-off Nightreign, and I fear following that, it may be time to head off to pastures new.

I can’t force acceptance upon you.
I get it. We’re all clamouring for something, whether it be a remaster, remake, sequel, or PC port.
The only real consolation I can offer is that while you’ll need to jump through a few hoops to get it running, a PC port is something that’s finally been realised, albeit unofficially by fans.
ICYMI: Take a look at the trailer for the aforementioned Elden Ring: Nightreign below.
Technically, yes, Bloodborne is now playable on PC but you will need a bit of kit that’s capable of running the ShadPS4 emulator.

It was a few months ago that a port of Bloodborne running on the emulator emerged but at that point in time, you could barely make it past the game’s menu screen with the port being rife with bugs.
Thankfully though, those bugs have steadily been ironed out to the point where you can now play Bloodborne on PC in its entirety - at 60fps at that, for the most part at least.
You need only look at the testimonial of Twitter user Rock Solid.
“I cannot overestimate how impressed I am with the state of the Bloodborne emulation,” they wrote.

“I have played through the entire game on 60fps in 1440p with barely any issues or crashes.”
Rock Solid later detailed the specs of their PC for those excited at the prospect of following suit with the streamer using an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, and the Crucial 32GB DDR5-4800 UDIMM.
I should add that certain sequences in the port do drop to 30fps, but Rock Solid is right in saying that 60fps is achievable in the vast majority of the game.
As I said, you’ll need a decent PC if you want to get involved, but just take a look at the quality of what awaits you below if you can get this emulation running.
“I love emulation so much,” replied one user.

“60fps really? That's very tempting,” added another.
This might be all we’re getting, Bloodborne fans.
