Ahead of the Geoff Keighley-fronted show, as is so often the case, announcements start to leak, and rumors begin to swirl. The latest round of rumors kicked off last night when Bloomberg journalist and industry insider Jason Schreier appeared on Kinda Funny Games Daily, telling the hosts that he knows of a couple of things that “definitely qualify as big announcements.”

Multiple projects are in the works that will tackle a “variety of genres”.
But, while Schreier’s comments are likely to light a fire in the gaming world, he moved to quickly confirm that although exciting things are ahead, he wasn’t talking about the oft-requested Bloodborne Remaster.
Jason Schreier Seemingly Kills Bloodborne Remaster Game Awards Hopes
Speaking to Kinda Funny Games Daily host Tim Gettys, Schreier said:
“I know of a couple of announcements there that definitely qualify as big announcements. That said, big announcements are games that won’t be out for years. I think there’s a good chance you’ll see one or two teaser trailers for a game that is like 2026 or even later.”
These comments naturally generated hype, with them appearing on various subreddits and social media platforms.
I think there’s a good chance you’ll see one or two teaser trailers for a game that is like 2026 or even later.
But, while fans were quick to speculate as to what these games could be, with the Bloodborne Remaster one of the first names to appear, Schreier moved to crush their dreams and dispel that myth.
Replying to a comment on Reddit which said, “I think it might really be Bloodborne this time…” Schrier simply said, “It’s not.”
It’s another blow for gaming’s most deprived fan base in a year when their dreams have never been closer to reality, at least in their eyes.
Earlier this month, Sony released a video celebrating the PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, which ended with a shot of FromSoftware’s title and the word “Persistence.” Naturally, the tinfoil hats came out, but there’s been no news since. This was about the 50th time this year that fans had got their hopes up, with server maintenance, a PS5 Pro enhancement, and various other PlayStation remasters all serving as sources of false hope.
Bloodborne is a PlayStation 4-exclusive title developed by Dark Souls and Elden Ring creator FromSoftware, and launched in 2015. A critically acclaimed action role-playing game, you must traverse the city of Yharnam seeking a cure for a mysterious illness.
