Rumour: ‘Bloodborne’ Film Adaptation in the Works With Writer Darren Lemke
For those of you clamoring for a PlayStation 5 remake or sequel for Bloodborne, PlayStation Lifestyle reports that something bigger might be on the way. According to an insider, a Bloodborne film is in the works at PlayStation Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Reddit user DanielRPK has stated that the film’s script will be penned by Darren Lemke, whose previous credits include Goosebumps, Shazam!, and Gemini Man, to name a few. The user also said that Bloodborne will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who is behind the G.I. Joe and the Transformers series.
DanielRPK is a known leaker who has shown in the past regarding his superhero film leaks to be a reliable source.
DanielRPK also included the following summary for the film: “Bloodborne follows the player’s character, a Hunter, through the decrepit Gothic, Victorian-era-inspired city of Yharnam, whose inhabitants are afflicted with a blood-borne disease which transforms the residents, called Yharnamites, into honorific beasts. Attempting to find the rouse of the plague, the player’s character unravels the city’s mysteries while fighting beasts and cosmic beings.”
As with everything, you have to take this with a grain of salt. However, given Sony’s recent ventures into adapting their franchises for TV and film (such as Twisted Metal for Peacock), this may well be the next one.
Bloodborne was exclusively released for the PlayStation 4 back in 2015.
The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.
System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
