FromSoftware has made a name for itself by crafting brutally challenging, wildly atmospheric worlds that keep players up at night. But recently, it’s not just the punishing difficulty that’s causing a stir, it’s the small, sneaky breadcrumbs it has been dropping about Bloodborne.
And let’s be real: the studio knows exactly what it’s doing. In a recent Elden Ring Nightreign survey, it decided to stir the pot once again by casually tossing in a question about Bloodborne, a game that’s still very much a ghost in Sony’s ecosystem.
The question hinted at a potential sequel, and fans? Well, they’re already in full-on speculation mode, convinced this is no happy accident. The result? A frenzy of anticipation, and the studio got the popcorn ready.
FromSoftware’s subtle tease sends fans into an anticipation frenzy
Even without much going for it, Bloodborne is a game that continues to be beloved by its fanbase. The atmospheric design, deep lore, and brutal difficulty, something about the game has made it irreplaceable in fans’ hearts and minds.
However, since its release, Sony has kept Bloodborne locked away in the deepest dungeon possible, like a Disney princess waiting for her prince to save her. For years, fans had no sign of revival, and hope was slowly fading.
However, recent teases have stirred the gaming community back to life, particularly the survey from Elden Ring Nightreign. The survey straight-up asks the players if they’d be interested in the next installment, and fans? Well, they’re already in full-on speculation mode.
Player surveys have been sent out for Elden Ring: Nightreign’s network test. This part felt like it was taunting me.

Sony clearly understands the appeal of this title and is likely playing with the player’s emotions. However, this isn’t the only tease, there have been others, like gameplay snippets at the end of an anniversary teaser, hinting that the title hasn’t been completely forgotten. At least, we hope it hasn’t.

While players understand this is just a survey, it felt more like a sly nod to the future of the beloved title. And with each tease, the hope grows stronger that there’s something more behind it.
Is this even a real tease?
So, what does this mean for Bloodborne fans? Are we about to get an official sequel or is this just another well-timed tease? The truth is, no one really knows. FromSoftware is known for its cryptic ways, and Song certainly made a habit of keeping players on edge.
That being said there has been an influx of activity surrounding Bloodborne, lately. Whether through a survey, inclusion in the anniversary video, or even some cryptic social media activity, the hints are hard to ignore.
Sony is well aware of how much attention the game still holds. This attention has only grown over the years with the success of Elden Ring and the ongoing interest in FromSoftware’s games.
For now, it seems like the company is playing a careful game, teasing its audience with a future that may or may not come to fruition. After all, when you’ve got fans this invested, why not let them stir their hopes for just a little longer?
In the end, fans will continue to hold out hope, analyzing every survey and social media post for signs of confirmation. But it’s clear the studio enjoys teasing its loyal fanbase almost as much as the games themselves.
