Overview
- Bluepoint pitched a Bloodborne remake in early 2025 and was told the numbers worked, but sources say FromSoftware did not want the project to proceed.
- Sony owns the Bloodborne IP, yet reporting indicates PlayStation deferred to the original creator; former executive Shuhei Yoshida has theorized Hidetaka Miyazaki prefers not to let others handle the game.
- After the Bloodborne rejection, Bluepoint proposed an updated Shadow of the Colossus and a Ghost of Tsushima spinoff, but none of those ideas were greenlit.
- The studio had previously spent years on a live-service God of War concept centered on Atreus in Hades, which Sony canceled in January 2025.
- By February 2026 the team had gone more than a year without a new project, and one week after Sony announced a God of War trilogy remake without Bluepoint, the company shut the Austin-based studio, affecting roughly 70 employees.
