It may have leaked a few months back, but now it’s official. Bluepoint Games, the makers of the Shadow Of The Colossus and Demon’s Souls remakes, as well as remasters like the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, has joined PlayStation Studios.
“With each of its projects, Bluepoint has raised the bar on console-defining visuals and gameplay, and the studio’s vast expertise in world-building and character creation will be a huge plus for future PlayStation Studios properties,” says PlayStation Studios head Herman Hulst.
“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,” says Marco Thrush, President of Bluepoint Games.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has been on a spending spree acquiring a bunch of more smaller-scale studios. This year they have acquired Housemarque, Nixxes and Firesprite on top of this Bluepoint acquisition.
