PlayStation's 30th Anniversary Celebration Fuels Bloodborne Speculation and More!
The recent PlayStation 30th-anniversary trailer reignited fervent speculation surrounding a potential Bloodborne remaster or sequel. The trailer's inclusion of Bloodborne, accompanied by the caption "It's about persistence," sent ripples through the gaming community.
The anniversary video showcased iconic PlayStation titles, each with a thematic caption. Bloodborne's placement and caption, however, fueled rumors of an upcoming release. While no official announcements have been made, this isn't the first time such speculation has arisen. Earlier hints, like a post from PlayStation Italia, also generated significant fan excitement. The "persistence" caption could simply reflect the game's challenging nature, rather than hinting at a new release.
PS5 Update: Customizable UI and a Blast from the Past
Sony's 30th-anniversary PS5 update introduced a limited-time feature: customizable themes inspired by past PlayStation consoles, including a retro PS1 boot-up sequence. This allows users to personalize their PS5 home screen with designs and sound effects reminiscent of older consoles. While fans appreciate the nostalgic touch, the limited-time nature of the update has led to some disappointment and speculation about future UI customization options on the PS5.
Sony's Handheld Console in the Works?
Adding to the buzz, reports suggest Sony is developing a handheld console for PS5 games. Digital Foundry corroborated Bloomberg's claims, indicating that Sony aims to enter the portable gaming market currently dominated by Nintendo Switch. While details are scarce, the move makes strategic sense given the rise of mobile gaming. This venture, however, faces a significant challenge: creating a handheld console that's both affordable and graphically superior to existing options. Meanwhile, Nintendo is poised to release information on the Nintendo Switch successor within its current fiscal year.
