Sony Unveils Animated ‘Bloodborne’ Series, Produced by Jacksepticeye
Sony Pictures announced at CinemaCon that it will develop an animated feature based on the PlayStation game Bloodborne. The move marks another high-profile adaptation from Sony’s PlayStation portfolio.
Production and attached talent
The project lists YouTube personality Sean McLoughlin as a producer. McLoughlin is best known online as Jacksepticeye. The announcement emphasized a creative approach faithful to the game’s atmosphere.
Source material and tone
Bloodborne first arrived in 2015. It follows a hunter exploring a gothic city infected by a mysterious blood disease. The infection transforms citizens into violent, monstrous forms.
The game draws on H.P. Lovecraft–style cosmic horror. Its dark, oppressive tone helped make it a signature hit for the PlayStation 4.
Franchise impact
Bloodborne became one of PlayStation’s standout titles. The game has influenced multiple fans and creative projects since its release.
Industry context and strategy
Sony’s announcement continues its push to mine PlayStation IP for screens. The studio has found big success adapting game properties recently.
HBO’s The Last of Us remains a major TV adaptation win for PlayStation-based content. Sony is also working with Nintendo on a live-action Legend of Zelda set for 2027.
Status and next steps
No release date has been set for the animated feature. Development details and a production timeline were not disclosed at CinemaCon.
