10 Fan-Demanded Video Game Sequels That Should NEVER Happen

3. Bloodborne 2

Bloodborne 7
FromSoftware

Before you kill me for including this in the list, let me just preface this entry by saying that Bloodborne is my favourite of FromSoftware's games, and one of my favourite games of the entire generation, and that's exactly why it doesn't need a sequel.

While the world itself is rich and the combat is awesome, so much of Bloodborne relies on its sense of mystery and surprise to work. The original works so well because it starts off as seemingly nothing more than a simple Bram Stoker monster tale, but it unfolds into this eldritch, Lovecraftian nightmare about creatures from the beyond controlling reality itself.

After you've played that card though, there's kind of nowhere you can go without undermining what came before. Bloodborne works as such a solid, singular piece of work, and while of course everyone would play the hell out of a sequel, not everything needs a follow up, and From could be better off continuing to release spiritual successors instead.
