"Yesterday, the news broke that Bluepoint Games, the first-party PlayStation studio responsible for celebrated remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls , has been shut down. According to a Sony spokesperson, the decision to shutter the developer was made "following a recent business review." It's terrible news however you look at it, but it's perhaps especially painful for Bloodborne fans, as Bluepoint Games were the fan-favorite front-runners to helm a potential remake of FromSoftware's 2015 PlayStation 4 game."
"As spotted by Notebook Check , Sony served Foulquier with a cease and desist letter in March 2025, due to his announcement on X some months prior that he was working on a game called Bloodborne Top Down Arena. Several clips of the game, which was actually Foulquier's second Bloodborne remake project, can still be found in separate posts on his X profile, but the video featured in the original announcement post has since been removed "in response to a report by the copyright owner.""
Bluepoint Games, a first-party PlayStation studio known for remakes such as Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls, has been shut down following a business review. Sony confirmed the closure and cited a recent business review as the reason for the decision. Separately, solo developer Maxime Foulquier revealed that Sony served him a cease-and-desist in March 2025 over his Bloodborne Top Down Arena project, and a related announcement video was removed. Foulquier expressed deep disappointment in Sony's decision to close Bluepoint and said he is repurposing assets into a legally distinct, untitled project.
