As we get closer to the realization of the Bloodborne animated film adaptation, creative leadership is confirmed, indicating we are moving from development ideas to active production. For the dark fantasy series fans who are excited, here’s more information to get on the animated movie.
PlayStation Productions and Lyrical Animation produce standalone R-rated movie
This new cinematic endeavor is based on the legendary FromSoftware action RPG. This film tells a story as a standalone piece that takes place within the Bloodborne world. You don’t have to know anything about the games to understand the story. While being a standalone story, it still will capture the visual art and feel of the original game.
The new film will be produced by PlayStation Productions and Lyrical Animation. For the latter, they bring their experience in mature animation. This film’s target audience will be for adults. This is an R-rated film, so rest assured the visceral and mature elements of the game’s reputation will be upheld.
Producer Jacksepticeye (Seán McLoughlin) is also onboard for the film. For the film, you’re getting a significant piece of digital media as part of the production. This project shows more gaming franchises being woven into the mainstream movie production.
Having a confirmed director and writer is a key piece to the puzzle of this film. This is an essential piece that signifies we’ve hit a new level of actual development with main creative roles filled. Since it’s a standalone story, this is a great way for newcomers to the franchise to be introduced to it while still being respectful of the lore.

Standalone story is the only way to do this right. Newcomers can watch without needing a degree in lore.
