Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls remakes developer Bluepoint Games officially joined PlayStation Studios in 2021, at which point Sony revealed that the studio’s next project would be “original content”. In the years since then, speculation and rumours about Bluepoint’s next game have been rampant, though unfortunately, that project has come to a premature end.
Reported by Bloomberg, Bluepoint’s mystery title has been cancelled. Interestingly enough, journalist Jason Schreier claims on BlueSky that the game Bluepoint was working on was a live service God of War project, of all things. Alongside it, Days Gone developer Sony Bend’s new live service open world IP has also been cancelled. Both games join a growing list of prominent failures marking Sony’s once-ambitious live service plans.
Though some of Sony’s several recent games-as-a-service cancellations have gone hand-in-hand with studio closures (from SIE London Studio to Firewalk), the company has assured that Bend and Bluepoint won’t meet that same fate.
