Bluepoint’s Notable Games
- Bluepoint Games has built a reputation for releasing high-quality remasters and reboots in past years.
- God of War and God of War 2, and also Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, have all been reimagined by the developer.
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater were the next games in the series to be remastered by the developer.
- The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls, respectively, were brilliant.
Bluepoint Games chairman Marco Thrush stated last year that if given the chance, he would like to move ahead with Sony. That was saying a lot considering both entities have a long history together spanning numerous PlayStation generations. That was one of the main reasons why numerous PlayStation enthusiasts hoped Sony would make an acquisition.

In fact, it was only earlier this year that rumors started circulating that Sony would be introducing Bluepoint Games on board as a first-party PlayStation studio in the first quarter of 2021. While that never occurred, the group behind the Demon’s Souls rerelease will undoubtedly be an incredible asset to the PlayStation Studios family for PlayStation 5.

In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team.
