Developer Reveals Sony Cease-And-Desist Over Bloodborne Fan Project

Bluepoint Games, the first-party PlayStation studio behind remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demons Souls, has been shut down. A Sony spokesperson said the decision was made "following a recent business review." The closure is especially painful for Bloodborne fans, as Bluepoint had been a leading candidate to work on a potential remake of FromSoftwares 2015 PlayStation 4 game.

Maxime Foulquier, a solo developer from France, revealed he received a cease and desist letter from Sony in March 2025 after announcing on X that he was working on a game called Bloodborne Top Down Arena. Several clips of the project remain on his X profile, but the video featured in his original announcement has since been removed "in response to a report by the copyright owner." He said: "Id rather speak about it now, as my disappointment is immense.

The disappearance of Bluepoint is a tremendous loss for the industry and for the dream of a Bloodborne remake.
