Is Bloodborne II ever happening?

Hopefully not. I absolutely adore bloodborne, one of my favourite games ever. But the reveal of a big cosmic entity only works once. Plus fromsoft has shown that they're not really that good with straight up sequels (like I bet the game would still be fun, mechanically, but everything about dark souls 2 and especially 3's narrative was lazy)
I can see From agreeing if they're allowed to self publish the game on Steam at a later date.
I love Bloodborne and I don't want a Bloodborne 2. The game is still great and stands out on its own. From Software have shown they're at their best when working on something new original.
I feel like this expectation for every game to have a sequel or turn into a series is not so good.

hmm, dunno i love BB but i don't want it to get it serialized like dark souls. i'll take a new ip and a bloodborne pro patch over bloodborne 2
I don't mind there being bloodborne 2, because it has potential. One thing I hope from is just as aware of as I am, is that bloodborne as an IP is NOT INHERENTLY tied to victorian setting and werewolves. There are many other settings with bloody sacrifices, elder gods and such, that can be exploited. Some tropical-esque mayan setting with literal ritualistic human sacrifices and culture surrounding it could work wonders. I want it to look different.
I mean, yeah it kinda is. If you want something different that's what a new IP is for.
I don't see it happening, at least not anytime soon. I do look forward to their next ARPG tho, I think we're gonna be blown away by it
It really isn't though. If it was, game itself wouldn't go full lovecraft alien-like locations with victorian setting and werewolves taking the backseat.
Yes, probably at some point in time it will exist. I'm hoping for a spiritual successor though, preferably in a new setting (BB already was perfect, no need to milk the same scenario).
Either way, out of their supposedly 3 upcoming projects, one was announced for 2017. That's obviously not going to happen anymore, but hopefully it means that an announcement is still coming during the next couple of events.

The game is pretty much HP Lovecraft the game, werewolves and the Victorian era and other aspects of gothic literature are stuff that are also heavily involved with Lovecrafts work.
Read a few Lovecraft stories and you'd start to understand.
Bloodborne is in contention for my favorite game of all time so obviously If Miyazaki's wanted to make a sequel I'd be all in, but I don't need it or necessarily even want it. Instead give me something in the spirit of Bloodborne -- a game that reimagines the Souls formula with a unique world and fresh themes.
Seriously, that logo mockup is too perfect for them not to make a game for it.
They don't own the IP, so it would be Sony publishing on PC(hint:they wont) if such a deal took place
And even then, I doubt even From has that much of a pull with regards to that kind of deal. What are they going to say, "make our game multiplatform or we'll go multiplatform" ?
Sony own Death Stranding, but it's coming to PC. I doubt Sony will publish it, however.
I certainly hope so. If it is happening there's also a higher chance they would do a Pro Patch for the first game. But honestly at this point, I don't think either thing is happening. (._.)
They've been hush on the PC port for almost 2 years now and the one source from it(the QnA) has been taken down afaik
Yes, they've been hush. If it were exclusive, I don't think they'd be hush. As of right now, it was announced, never unannounced, and they have not commented, so I'd consider it to still be announced as coming to PC. Obviously that may not be the case ultimately, but we'll see.
Sony just trademarked Death Stranding. Doesn't mean they own the IP for it.
Whilst true, there is no reason to believe they don't. Moreover, there's no reason to think Sony own the IP of BB.
Sony does own the IP of Bloodborne. The same way the own the IP to Demon Souls. Sony approached From after they completed work on Dark Souls to create a game for their new system, that ended up being Bloodborne. Sony funded and produced the game and it was something they asked for. Sony generally owns all of the IPs to their exclusive games.
Death Stranding isn't really a similar situation
You can't prove it though, can you? The point is that whoever owns the trademark almost always owns the IP, but without having access to the contract, we can never be sure.
