Now, lets not make this a "I would rather we didnt have the game at all without From and Lord Miyazaki-sama".
I am 100% sure a Bloodborne 2 without From and Miyazaki on board would not be the same. But lets work with the hypothesis that From Software and Miyazaki doesnt want to work on a sequel at all, never ever. Personally, I would never choose not having a game at all than having it and not reaching my expectations. The aesthetics alone of Bloodborne makes me thirsty for another game with that atmosphere.
So, which studio could Sony approach to make a worthwhile sequel? Would you prefer a studio with experience in the gameplay and level design loop of the Souls design philosophy (Team Ninja did a great job on Nioh) or would you rather want to see a totally different studio ahead of the project (after all it is never going to be better than Bloodborne 1 anyway, so lets go wild?) and give it to, lets say, Naughty Dog (come on, admmit you are curious now about a Souls like Naughty Dog game lol)?
Personally I think Santa Monica would handle it really well. They absolutely nail the asthethics of everything they do and have experience with action combat gameplay, so why not?
