Sony has confirmed it will close Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for recent, widely praised PlayStation remakes. The publisher issued a statement praising the studio’s output on projects such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus even as it announced the shutdown.

  • Bluepoint built a reputation for high-profile remake work, notably reworking Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus for modern PlayStation hardware.
  • Sony’s message acknowledged the studio’s achievements and quality of work, but the company nevertheless opted to wind the studio down.
  • The public announcement does not lay out a detailed explanation for the closure or describe immediate plans for the studio’s staff or any in-progress efforts.
  • The unexpected move removes a long-standing specialist in adaptations and remasters from Sony’s roster, marking a significant shift given Bluepoint’s visibility among PlayStation fans and critics.
