Bluepoint pitched Bloodborne remake and was turned down, then the studio shut down

Bloomberg reports Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake in early 2025, but FromSoftware reportedly rejected it; the piece also notes Bluepoint’s broader struggles within Sony, including a canceled God of War live-service project and other pitched remakes like Shadow of the Colossus that never got greenlit. By February 2026 the studio had been without a new project for over a year and announced its closure, with staff exploring opportunities elsewhere.

Sony Goes Silent Online as Backlash Over Bluepoint Closure Intensifies

Sony’s main PlayStation social accounts have been silent for more than 72 hours following Bluepoint Games’ closure, while regional channels kept posting. Fans flooded replies—often angrily—targeting Marathon and Sony’s live‑service strategy. Marathon, Bungie’s PvPvE title launching March 5, remains a focal point of the backlash as Sony contends with leadership criticism and awaits a return to posting.

Bluepoint Shutdown Triggers Marathon Boycott Talk

PlayStation’s shutdown of Bluepoint Games sparked social-media backlash from fans who vow to boycott Bungie’s Marathon and other live-service titles; Marathon is still on track to release March 5 with a beta Feb 26–Mar 2, and while the controversy has drawn attention, analysts expect it to have limited impact on the game.

Sony shuts down fan-made Bloodborne Diablo-inspired project over IP claims

Indie developer Maxime Foulquier says Sony sent a March 2025 cease-and-desist letter (via DLA Piper) to halt his Bloodborne: Top Down Arena, an isometric Diablo-like fan game set in the Bloodborne universe. Sony asserts ownership of Bloodborne IP and trademarks across multiple regions; the developer says he repurposed assets but planned to discuss the letter once the game was ready. The move follows past actions against fan projects (e.g., Bloodborne Kart) and comes as Bluepoint Games closes; Bloodborne remains a PS4 exclusive with no remake/remaster in sight.

Xbox unlikely to rescue Bluepoint after Sony's shutdown decision

Sony announced it would shut down Bluepoint Games, sparking talk that Microsoft could step in to fund a new project for the team. God of War creator David Jaffe even urged Phil Spencer to back a new or remade title, but the likelihood remains slim given Microsoft’s past studio closures and evolving priorities. The debate continues over whether Bluepoint’s expertise could live on under another banner or partner.
