Bluepoint Games to close in March after Sony business review

Sony has confirmed that Bluepoint Games, the studio behind remasters such as Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls, will be closed in March. The shutdown will reportedly result in roughly 70 people being put out of work.

“Following a recent business review, the decision was made to close Bluepoint Games in March,” a Sony representative said. “Bluepoint Games is an incredibly talented team and their technical expertise has delivered exceptional experiences for the PlayStation community. We thank them for their passion, creativity, and craftmanship.”

Founded in 2008, the studio handled the PlayStation 3 remasters of God of War and God of War 2, which were released the following year. Numerous remakes followed, most recently a 2020 update of Demon's Souls for the PlayStation 5 that never came to PC. Sony acquired Bluepoint in 2021.
