Elden Ring was a pleasant surprise for fans that had been in an information drought for the past two years. The new trailer showed off a lot of new details about both gameplay and the story in the next entry from storied studio FromSoftware. Excitement about the game has been through the roof for fans that have been waiting to see more of Elden Ring. It has had an interesting side effect though, as renewed excitement about Elden Ring has spilled over into hope for the long-requested PC and PS5 ports for Bloodborne.

Bloodborne is one of the most popular in the lineage of FromSoftware games. It was a unique direction for the studio, with the introduction of firearms and a focus on more fast-paced combat in its gameplay, and an even darker atmosphere than Dark Souls. Now that online communities have been exploding about Elden Ring, a renewed call for ports of Bloodborne has come from those same communities. The requests for a 60 FPS version of Bloodborne have been long unanswered, but the surprise of Elden Ring's new trailer have helped spark hope for those fans.

Fans have been hoping for a PC port for some time. While Bloodborne is hailed among fans for its story and gameplay, it certainly has some technical issues that can bog down the experience. Framerate drops are the biggest issue for the game, so many fans have been hoping for a PC (and now PS5) port of the game to address those issues and create a smoother experience overall. Bloodborne's combat is visceral and swift, so seeing the game run at a higher framerate is something many fans want to see. Friday's Elden Ring reveal has renewed those hopes for many.

Elden Ring's newest trailer sparked new calls for Bloodborne in many online communities. It had become almost a running gag on many subreddits that Elden Ring wasn't even a real game, merely an elaborate prank by FromSoftware to tease fans. After Elden Ring surprised fans with the new reveal, which was fairly extensive as well, those same communities began sharing jokes about maybe now the other impossible would come true and Bloodborne would finally receive its long-due port. Dozens of memes were posted about hope for the fan-favorite game to finally receive a port.

As for now, FromSoftware hasn't announced any official plans to bring Bloodborne to PC or PS5, but that hasn't stopped fans from hoping for it. The popularity of Bloodborne hasn't waned much since its release, still maintaining an active player base and online communities. While it's a toss up as to whether Bloodborne will receive a sequel, fans are banking on a PC and PS5 port in the near future. Elden Ring has reinvigorated waves of fans of FromSoftware games, and justifiably so. Elden Ring is an exciting game in and of itself, and it's looking like the excitement for it is spilling over to hopes for an eventual port of Bloodborne.

Elden Ring is scheduled for release on January 21st, 2022.
