Bloodborne is getting an animated adaptation from Sony, which will be "very true" to the game. The news was announced as part of the studio's CinemaCon panel along with some brief details about what to expect as well by Sony Pictures Entertainment president Sanford Panitch.
Per Variety, the studio head teased that it will be R-rated to allow it to bring to life the gory world of the game. This is set in the Victorian-style city of Yharnam and follows a Hunter who pursues demons with a blood-borne disease that turns them into horrifying monsters. It's pretty gnarly so it's good to hear Sony will be leaning into the horror.
One of the most surprising parts of the news too is the involvement of superfan and YouTuber JackSepticEye, who will be producing the film. The streamer is behind one of the best playthroughs of the game we've seen, which has landed nearly five million streams in itself.
"I am going to do everything in my power to make this the BEST Bloodborne adaptation possible," he said, on the Bloodborne Reddit. "Not only is it my favourite game ever made but I know how truly passionate the fans of this game are and how much hunger they have for more of it."
More details are yet to be announced on the Bloodborne movie but it joins a whole host of game adaptations from Sony. On the horizon is The Legend of Zelda movie and the Helldivers movie, both of which the studio confirmed are moving forward quickly.
