Bloodborne 2 or Bloodborne Remake
Bluepoint Video games, the studio behind Demon’s Souls’ glorious remake, lately had an unannounced stay service sport cancelled by Sony. While an authentic title should still be within the works, maybe their schedule is now clear to select up a Bloodborne remake?

Whether or not a Bluepoint-helmed remake or FromSoft sequel, followers will probably be enraptured.
The Elder Scrolls VI gameplay reveal
We’re nonetheless years away from the sixth entry in Bethesda’s storied fantasy RPG, however think about the shock had been The Elder Scrolls VI gameplay unveiled earlier than the yr is out.

Introduced in 2022, Silent Hill f information has been scant. We all know it’ll deviate from Silent Hill’s established formulation in that the eponymous city is switched for Japan. Intrigue can solely go up to now although. Konami ought to present us some gameplay – we’re all dying to know if Silent Hill f will proceed Silent Hill 2’s scorching streak or whether or not it’ll be an uneventful traipse akin to The Brief Message.

Talking of scorching streaks, the sequence has been pinging out high quality horror video games within the type of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Village Resident Evil titles, each a remake and a brand new entry, since Resident Evil 7, so it’s with good purpose they’re below strain to ship one other worthy entry with Resident Evil 9.

There’s a lot to ponder right here it’s stunning 2K Video games haven’t given us something since Bioshock 4’s huge affirmation again in 2019.
