Confirmed announcement · Updated 2026-10-24
The Bloodborne film
Sony's 19 May 2026 CinemaCon recap says an R-rated animated Bloodborne film is in development. It names PlayStation Productions, Lyrical Animation and Sean McLoughlin, known as jacksepticeye, as co-producers.
The checked first-party post describes a film, not a television series. Its R-rated wording is Sony's own statement, not solely a producer's livestream remark. The post does not provide a release date.
What Sony actually announced
Sony's recap dates its CinemaCon presentation to 13 April 2026. It describes an R-rated animated version of Bloodborne in development and identifies the co-producers. This is a film announcement, not a new game or sequel announcement.
R-rated is the announced creative direction. The checked material is not a final ratings-board certificate for a completed film. No final certificate was obtained in this check.
What this page does not claim
The checked Sony post does not list a director, screenwriter, runtime or release date. This page does not infer financing or distribution terms that the cited text does not spell out.
No movie trailer is embedded. PlayStation's Bloodborne Story Trailer and Cut You Down video promote the original game; neither is footage from the announced animated film.
