A Long Time Coming

Sony continues to add new studios as the gaming industry’s development arms race continues. Their latest acquisition comes in the form of Bluepoint Games.

This one can hardly feel like a surprise. A leaked image a few months ago when Sony announced the acquisition of Housemarque made this announcement feel like an inevitability. Still, its nice to finally have confirmation.

This may not change much for the studio. Sony and Bluepoint have partnered together for years, churning out a series of hit remakes and remasters. After working on the Uncharted remasters for PS4, they built the PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus before receiving further acclaim for their PS5 launch remake of Demon’s Souls. In fact, outside of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and the Xbox 360 port of Titanfall all of their work has been done for Sony. Rumors suggest that their next title may be an original property, though time will tell.

For now, check out a nice tribute Sony put together to celebrate Bluepoint being invited to the family reunion.
