\nSony has acquired Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for the Demon\u2019s Souls remake. News of the acquisition was announced today on the PS Blog by PlayStation Studios head Herman Hulst. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have officially joined PlayStation Studios,\u201d said Bluepoint president Marco Thrush in a statement. «Austin, Texas has been the home base for Bluepoint from when we first founded the studio back in 2006 and we\u2019re 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\u2019re excited that PlayStation Studios shares a similar culture and vision. «PlayStation has such an iconic gaming catalog and for us, there\u2019s been nothing better than to bring some of gaming\u2019s masterpieces to new players.

But that wasn\u2019t the first we had heard of a possible Bluepoint acquisition. Rumblings regarding the possibility started making the rounds in fall 2020, and then again in February of this year. Bluepoint has a history with Sony, having remastered games such as God of War and God of War 2 for the God of War Collection, the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection, Flower, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection which included Uncharted 1-3, and Gravity Rush. It is also the studio responsible for the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.<\/p>\n
