Sony's abrupt closure of Bluepoint Games, the studio behind a slew of great PlayStation remasters and remakes, is even worse than you thought. The studio had reportedly pitched Sony a number of projects, including a full-on Bloodborne remake as we're learning, in an effort to avoid layoffs, but none of them worked out.
Bloomberg reports that Sony liked the idea of a Bloodborne remake from Bluepoint but FromSoftware stopped it from happening for reasons undisclosed. We're also learning that Bluepoint was keen to develop its first original game since 2006 and pitched a Ghost of Tsushima spinoff as well as an "updated version" of Shadow of Colossus, which it remade in 2018, but neither project was greenlit.
