Sony acquires Bluepoint Games, developer of PS5 Demon’s Souls remake

Sony has acquired Bluepoint Games, the developer responsible for excellent remakes like the PlayStation 5 Demon’s Souls and the previous gen’s Shadow of the Colossus, to join its stable of PlayStation Studios. It’s also known for the remastered Uncharted trilogy and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

The terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

This isn’t a surprise, since PlayStation Japan accidentally tweeted an image mentioning a Bluepoint acquisition back in June, as the company announced that it was buying Returnal developer Housemarque.

“There is a long history of trust between Bluepoint and SIE,” Marco Thrush, Bluepoint’s president, said in a release. “Our first game, Blast Factor, was a PS3 launch title, and our most recent title, Demon’s Souls was ready to provide a challenge for the PS5 launch crowd. We share the same values and we’re equally committed to creating great new games.”
