Bluepoint Games Ventures Into Original Content
After earning acclaim for their exceptional remasters and remakes, Bluepoint Games is set to embark on a new journey with an original game. Known for revitalizing some of the most beloved titles like “God of War Collection,” “The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection,” “Metal Gear Solid HD Collection,” “Shadow of the Colossus Remake,” and “Demon’s Souls Remake,” the studio is now focusing on creating something entirely from scratch.
From Remakes to Original Creations
The transition from remasters and remakes to original content marks a significant evolution for Bluepoint. Since being acquired by PlayStation in 2021, following the release of “Demon’s Souls” remake, the studio’s ambition has grown. Although they have contributed to high-profile projects like “God of War: Ragnarok,” their primary focus remains on their original game.
Speculations and Silence
Speculation is rife about the nature of Bluepoint’s new project. Some believe it could be a spin-off of “God of War” featuring Atreus, while others suggest it might be a new entry in the soulslike genre, potentially linked to “Bloodborne.” However, the studio remains tight-lipped about specific details.
Peter Dalton, the head of Bluepoint Games, recently reaffirmed their commitment to this original project. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Dalton said, “Nothing has changed since the statement regarding work on an original title. Everything takes time. We are committed to honing our skills.” This echoes his sentiments from January 2023, when he asked fans for patience, emphasizing that “all good things take time” and promising that an announcement would come “at the appropriate time.”

The Challenge of Original Development
Creating a game from the ground up presents a different set of challenges compared to remastering or remaking existing titles. This endeavor demands extensive time and effort, as Bluepoint aims to deliver a high-quality experience. The studio’s focus on perfecting their craft suggests that they are taking every necessary step to ensure their original game meets the high standards set by their previous projects.
Anticipation Builds
As Bluepoint Games continues to work on their original title, the gaming community eagerly awaits further details. The announcement of this project will mark a new chapter for the studio, showcasing their ability to create compelling content beyond remasters and remakes.
