"We're thrilled to have officially joined PlayStation Studios!

Austin, Texas has been home base for Bluepoint from when we first founded the studio back in 2006 and we're now a team of close to 70 super-talented creatives and growing. While the studio has certainly grown over the past 15 years, our cultural beliefs have remained the same- to always push the envelope and create the highest-quality games possible all while having fun doing it. The focus on culture has been instrumental to our success and we're excited that PlayStation Studios shares a similar culture and vision.

PlayStation has such an iconic gaming catalog and for us there's been nothing better than to bring some of gaming's masterpieces to new players. Becoming a part of PlayStation Studios, empowers our team to raise the quality-bar even further and create even more impactful experiences for the PlayStation community.

Thanks to everyone who's supported us throughout the years – we can't wait to bring you more amazing games in this next chapter for Bluepoint Games!"

"We hope to have more to share in the months ahead"

Sounds promising.

Happy to see it was true and not a advanced form of fuckup from the Japanese PlayStation account. Great, great, great news!

 

[ethomaz]

[Windle Poons]

It's like deja vu.

 

[SlimySnake]

MGS remake please and an actual remake. No more 1:1 stuff. I love DS and SOTC, but they need to bring new ideas to these remakes.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Any Sony exclusive From Software games they need to put these guys on immediately to help out with the tech issues. Love the games but that's a dream team right there.

Wonder if they could swing that for non-exclusives

Edit: Ooh, next title will be a Bluepoint original title? Burying the lede


"Our next project, we're working on original content right now. We can't talk about what that is, but that's the next step in the evolution for us"

Good to see it official now.

Fucking finally! I loved the Remaster of Shadow of the Colossus and remake of Demons Souls. Bring in the new goods! I knew it was only a matter of time before this would have happened.

 

[Zathalus]

Great studio and a good fit for Playstation.

 

[skit_data]

Also this:

 

[StreetsofBeige]

LOL. They announced it during the summer already (kind of).

Looks like they meant to spread the news across months.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Sooooo... 6th archstone when?

 

[Punished Miku]

DS is my favorite PS5 game by far. Excited for whatever comes next. They're pros.

 

[Andodalf]

Very excited to see their original game!

 

[Mercenary09]

And to think there were people who actually thought it wasn't happening and that image was fake. That image doesn't get made and tweeted by an official PlayStation account by mistake LOL.

 

[Croatoan]

Great purchase, now get to work on Bloodborne PC.

 

[3liteDragon]

 

[Papacheeks]

This tweet has me rolling on the floor

Why?

Edit: Never mind I get it now, lol, Sony JP just sitting there by themselves in the corner with a whistle waiting.........

[SenjutsuSage]

Excellent and logical pickup. And this ladies and gentleman is why you don't take any denials seriously. This is proof they don't mean a thing. If they're not ready to make the announcement, they're just not ready to make the announcement. We just all wait and see what they do and what happens.
