Blog Bloodborne Bloodborne Is Going to Become a Very Bloody Animated Film It’s not quite a Bloodborne sequel, but it’s a step in the right direction By Molly Templeton | Published on April 14, 2026 Screenshot: PlayStation Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: PlayStation In animation, you can have all the gore you want. At least that’s what Sony Pictures says about Bloodborne, which is getting an animated movie adaptation that Variety says “will embrace the carnage that made the game so popular.” In Bloodborne, players control a hunter who explores an ancient city, Yharnam, which is “now cursed with a strange endemic illness spreading through the streets like wildfire. Danger, death and madness lurk around every corner of this dark and horrific world, and you must discover its darkest secrets in order to survive,” as the official synopsis puts it. When it was released in 2015, the game earned glowing reviews pretty much across the board. The Guardian noted its “elegance, precision, humour, and challenge,” with writer Simon Parkin saying that Bloodborne creator Hidetaka Miyazaki “is, perhaps, the medium’s greatest world-builder.” The adaptation is being produced by PlayStation Productions, Lyrical Animation, and gamer Seán McLoughlin, aka JackSepticEye, who Variety notes is “is a gamer who has spent years in the world of Bloodborne, where his digital adventures are tracked by 48 million online fans.” This is, of course, just the latest video game to turn into a potentially massive adaptation. Sony also recently announced an adaptation of Helldivers; The Legend of Zelda movie reportedly has finished filming; The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was just a box-office hit; and, on the small screen, The Last of Us has at least another season, and God of War is in the works—to name just a few. There’s no word on when Bloodborne will hit screens, but be patient: animation takes time. You’ve gotta get all the gruesomeness just right.[end-mark] The post <i>Bloodborne</i> Is Going to Become a Very Bloody Animated Film appeared first on Reactor.
