Bluepoint Games Closure after God of War Live-Service Cancellation and Demons’ Souls Remake Producer Departure

Sony closed Bluepoint Games last year, resulting in the loss of approximately 70 jobs, according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier. Sony acquired Bluepoint in 2021 and integrated it into PlayStation Studios. While part of PlayStation Studios, Bluepoint Games assisted in the development of God of War Ragnarok. Following their remake of Demon’s Souls, Bluepoint’s only publicly known project was a live-service God of War game, which was ultimately canceled in January 2025, according to Omelete. After the cancellation, the studio spent the last year pitching new ideas to Sony. The closure follows Sony’s recent announcement of remakes for the Greek God of War trilogy. Bluepoint’s previous collaboration with Santa Monica Studio on God of War Ragnarok suggested they were well-suited to develop these remakes. Additionally, the producer in charge of the Demon’s Souls remake and a potential Bloodborne project has left Sony following the studio’s shutdown. Information sourced from Bloomberg and Omelete.
