Remake of Bloodborne No Longer Expected: Bluepoint Studio Closure Dashes Hopes for the Idea

Don't Wait for a Bloodborne Remake Anymore: Bluepoint Studio Closure Dashes the Idea

Sony has closed Bluepoint Studio, known for the remakes of Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier revealed details of the team's final months and explained why the long-awaited remake of Bloodborne never happened.

After canceling the live-service God of War in January 2025, Sony was looking for a new direction for the studio. Bluepoint proposed several ideas. One of them was a Bloodborne remake. According to sources, the numbers added up, and the project promised to be commercially viable, but FromSoftware opposed it. The Japanese studio did not give the green light.

The studio also tried to find common ground with other PlayStation teams. In particular, Bluepoint suggested working on a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off, but the idea did not find support. Other studios, it is noted, were not eager to allocate resources to an external project.

Tension within the team grew. When Sony announced a God of War remake trilogy without Bluepoint's involvement, many saw it as an alarming signal. A week later, the studio was closed.
