Today, out of Sony Pictures’ presentation at CinemaCon, it was announced that PlayStation’s widely popular game Bloodborne is being developed into an R-rated animated feature for Sony Pictures. The plot is being kept under wraps. Bloodborne is an action role-playing game where a traveler journeys into a horror-filled gothic city full of deranged mobs and nightmarish creatures lurking around every corner. It has been praised for its challenging gameplay and richly layered world that players have spent years exploring. Considered one of the best games of all time by numerous publications, Bloodborne was developed by FromSoftware and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The film is produced by PlayStation Productions, Lyrical Animation and creator and gamer Seán McLoughlin, better known by his pseudonym JackSepticEye. Seán is a massive gamer who has spent years battling it out in the brutal world of Bloodborne for his over 48 million online fans. Lyrical Media, parent company of Lyrical Animation, is co-financing with Sony Pictures. Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions recently announced the adaptation of Helldivers, directed by Justin Lin and starring Jason Momoa. Slated for release in 2027 the film is based on the hugely popular Helldivers video game franchise. They previously worked together on Uncharted, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, which earned $407 million globally and is one of the top ten highest grossing video game adaptation globally; Peacock’s hit series, Twisted Metal; and the award winning and critically acclaimed series The Last of Us for HBO.
