Bluepoint Games Seeks Talent for New 3rd-Person Action Game After Project Cancellation

by

Bluepoint Games, the studio famous for creating the stunning remakes of *Demon’s Souls* and *Shadow of the Colossus* for PlayStation, is currently working on a new game.

After shelving plans for an online game earlier this year, Bluepoint Games appears to be working on a new project. A recent job posting indicates the game will likely feature intense, close-up fighting from a third-person perspective, suggesting they’re returning to the type of action gameplay they’re known for.

A New 3rd-Person Melee Action Game in the Works

Tech4Gamers noticed a job listing that reveals Bluepoint Games is working on a third-person action game. The game will focus heavily on close-up fighting, realistic enemy actions, well-balanced characters, and controls that feel quick and precise.

 Bluepoint Games is seeking a SENIOR COMBAT DESIGNER to join our team. 

Collaborate with a talented team – including animators, character artists, visual development, level designers, and engineers – to create compelling enemy and boss characters, and to improve our exciting combat systems. We’re looking for someone who can work effectively on their own and as part of a team, bringing fresh ideas and experience to help us make our next game the best it can be.

I’m really excited about this new job listing! It specifically mentions needing someone with experience in designing close-up, hand-to-hand combat. That’s got everyone wondering if they’re rebuilding one of the older games, or if this is something completely new. It’s got fans like me buzzing with possibilities!

Bloodborne, ICO, or God of War: What’s Next for Bluepoint?

Okay, so Bluepoint Games is seriously one of PlayStation’s go-to studios for remakes, and for good reason. Their *Demon’s Souls Remake* from 2020 wasn’t just a remake, it was a total tech demo for the PS5! The graphics were insane and honestly, it raised the bar for how good remakes could look. It was a beautiful game!

This news has understandably sparked renewed speculation about a potential remake of Bloodborne. For years, fans have been hoping for an updated version of FromSoftware’s critically acclaimed gothic game, and Bluepoint Games is widely considered capable of delivering it.

I’ve been hearing some interesting things! Remember how there were reports that Bluepoint’s online God of War project got canceled earlier this year? Considering that, and knowing they helped out with *God of War: Ragnarok*, I’m starting to think the new game might actually be a remake or remaster of one of the older *God of War* titles. Maybe they’re using some of the stuff they already built for that canceled project, which would make sense!

Fans are increasingly hoping Bluepoint Games will remake *ICO*, another popular PlayStation game. They successfully remastered *Shadow of the Colossus*, another title from the same creators, so updating *ICO* with improved graphics and performance seems like a logical move for the studio.

The studio hasn’t yet said if this new game is based on a previously existing PlayStation series or if it’s a completely new story and world.

Another Job Listing Points to Exploration and Puzzle Elements

Besides the combat designer position, Bluepoint is also hiring a Senior Level Designer who will work on interactions, encounters, and puzzles – features commonly found in action-adventure games.

Bluepoint Games is seeking a SENIOR LEVEL DESIGNER to join our team. 

Bluepoint is looking for a Level Designer to create engaging level content, starting from initial concepts and seeing them through to completion. You’ll collaborate closely with artists, designers, and other team members, but also be able to work independently and contribute your ideas to help us make our next game the best it can be.

Although details are still limited, it seems Bluepoint Games’ next project will offer more than just fast-paced fighting. Players can likely expect to explore detailed worlds and solve puzzles, similar to the gameplay found in their previous games like *Demon’s Souls* and *Shadow of the Colossus*.

A Promising Return for One of PlayStation’s Best Studios

Bluepoint Games is likely to be a key developer for future PlayStation games. Known for its impressive technology, skill in creating satisfying close-combat experiences, and consistently launching successful titles, their next game could very well be the defining game for the next PlayStation console – potentially the PS6.

Honestly, whatever Bluepoint Games does next – whether it’s a remake like *Bloodborne* or *God of War*, or something completely original – it’s going to be huge. I’m really excited to see what they come up with!
