Sony Interactive Entertainment is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio behind acclaimed PlayStation remakes, just five years after acquiring it. The closure, announced in an internal memo from co-CEO Hermen Hulst, cites rising development costs and industry challenges. The Texas-based team, known for Demon’s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, will cease operations next month.
Bluepoint Games proposed a remake of Bloodborne to Sony after its God of War project was cancelled, but FromSoftware rejected the idea. The rejection aligns with theories that the game's director prefers to keep it untouched by others. Sony's decision contributed to Bluepoint's closure amid doubts about its original game capabilities.
