Which studio developed Bloodborne for PlayStation 4?

The story behind the answer

FromSoftware developed Bloodborne for the PlayStation 4. Sony Computer Entertainment published the game, while Japan Studio collaborated with FromSoftware during its development.

Bloodborne was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and released in 2015. Its combat, interconnected environments, challenging bosses, and emphasis on exploration drew from FromSoftware's earlier Souls games, but the setting and mechanics gave it a distinct identity. The story follows a Hunter investigating the plague-stricken city of Yharnam.

The game's world combines Victorian Gothic architecture with cosmic horror influences associated with H. P. Lovecraft and the Gothic fiction of Bram Stoker. FromSoftware began development under the working title Project Beast, and the game was built specifically for Sony's PlayStation 4 rather than being a multiplatform release. Bandai Namco published several Souls titles, which can cause confusion, but it did not develop Bloodborne; Square Enix and Capcom were not the game's developers either.
