Things have been quiet for a while with the Bloodborne animated movie, which is based on the Bloodborne video game by FromSoftware. The film was originally announced back in April 2026 during Cinemacon, with content creator Jacksepticeye producing. Now a new update on the film gives insight into what has been happening since then, and it’s promising for fans.
While speaking in an interview with IGN, producer Sean McLoughlin, better known as Jacksepticeye, gave fans a quick update about the Bloodborne animated film. He stated the project has been moving forward since the announcement, and finally has a writer and director attached.
“Things are obviously much more along the pipeline than they were back then. It’s one of those things that I personally would love to just say everything as a fan of this thing, but then there’s no expectation, or there’s no fun in the process. So we definitely have a lot more stuff mapped out where we’re going with the story, and there are people in place to make this thing happen.”

Unfortunately, exactly who is writing and directing is still unknown. Jacksepticeye didn’t reveal who was brought onto the project, or when to expect the film to release. “Hopefully sooner than later, we can have announcements where we talk about who’s involved and where it’s going, and little teases of the story and where we’re at with that.”
Bloodborne isn’t the only FromSoftware video game getting an adaptation. A live-action movie based on the game Elden Ring is being directed by Alex Garland, which is set to release in March 2028. Jacksepticeye compared the differences between both films, as well as the task of fulfilling high expectations.
“It’s just the amount of time, effort, pieces moving, the amount of financials needed in place; is it even a smart decision to do it live action at that point, when there’s a lot of stuff that you’d be able to do in animation that you can’t do in live action, or you wouldn’t nail down? And I think Bloodborne specifically is poised to do that well, because there’s so much otherworldly aspects in that that would just be so cool to be able to blow the doors off animated rather than being like, ‘Okay, put you in front of a green screen, and let’s hope for the best.’ Now, we can really whittle it down into something cool.”
Everyone will have to wait patiently for more details about Bloodborne for the time being. But the update reassures fans that Jacksepticeye and the crew involved are looking to get things right.
