Gamers have been left mourning the demise of yet another studio this week after Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed the closure of Bluepoint Games. Four-and-a-half years after buying the indie developer in 2021, it's shutting it down without it having made a single title under Sony's watch.
The Austin-based indie made its name with high-quality Playstation remakes like Shadow of the Colossus in 2018 and Demon’s Souls in 2020. And yet for Sony it was put to work on a live-service God of War game that got cancelled early last year after the failure of Concord. The decision to now axe the studio has left gamers divided. Was this a case of a wasted opportunity and mismanagement on Sony's part, or did the studio fail to deliver?
