Bloodborne is ten years old today and we’re still waiting for a Switch port

It’s hard to believe that Bloodborne is ten years old, because it feels like only yesterday we were battling our way through Yharnam as the imposing Hunter, taking on the Great Ones and laying waste to the Healing Church in an attempt to cure the Paleblood plague. That being said, the replayability is as high as any FromSoftware title, with multiple endings and plenty to keep you going back for more - especially if you want the satisfaction of taking out the Orphan of Kos again and again. Bloodborne is arguably one of the best, if not the best, soulslike games, and despite a unanimous and very, very loud plea from the community, it remains shackled and chained in the basement of Sony’s gaming jail. After a decade of critical acclaim and a cult following, we haven’t seen or heard a peep from Bloodborne, and it’s one of gaming’s greatest mysteries. With every year that passes, we wonder - will this be the year that we finally get a remaster? Will we get a sequel? Will we finally be able to play at 60fps? But perhaps the biggest question of them all, is will we ever get a port to handheld consoles? Bloodborne would work fantastically on the likes of the Steam Deck, the ASUS ROG Ally, and specifically, the Switch 2 with all of its rumored processing power. With Nintendo’s console inching ever closer to a release date announcement, wouldn’t it be something to see a vision of the Hunter materializing on the Switch 2 screen?
