Sony Welcomes Bluepoint Games To PlayStation Studios

In a move surprising no one, Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that they’ve acquired Bluepoint Games. Up until recently, Bluepoint had been working largely with Sony on remasters and remakes, from Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection to the recent PlayStation 5 remake of Demon’s Souls.

PlayStation Studios Head Hermen Hulst talked about what it means to have Bluepoint join PlayStation Studios in the press release announcing the acquisition:

“Bluepoint’s roster of critically-acclaimed PlayStation remakes and remasters is unmatched and with each of its projects the team has surpassed the high-quality standards we look for at PlayStation Studios,” said Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios. “They have the expertise in developing for our hardware, possess the technical savvy to create showcases for our platform, and understand the artistry of beautiful environments and compelling characters. The creative ambition and skillset within the talented team at Bluepoint will breathe new life into upcoming projects and I couldn’t be happier to officially welcome them into PlayStation Studios.”

Interestingly, it seems Bluepoint’s next project will not be another remake or remaster, but instead be a brand-new title. This lines up with the announcement that Sony is working on 25 new projects, half of them being all-new IP.
