Remake specialist Bluepoint Games is teasing a brand new title, and it’s “a big one”.
In an interview with WIRED, when requested in regards to the specific titles that are in development for PS5, Marco Thrush, president of Bluepoint Games mentioned:
“We’re working on a big one right now. I’ll let you figure out the rest.”
Rumours have been circulating for a while on Resetera that Bluepoint is at the moment engaged on a full remake of Dark Souls precursor, Demon’s Souls.
Despite the apparent hyperlinks to FromSoftware’s later games, the Demon’s Souls IP is owned by Sony, so it’s technically separate from the remainder of the Souls collection – nonetheless followers have been clamouring for a remake since lengthy earlier than the discharge of Dark Souls: Remastered in 2018.
Many of Bluepoint Games’ tasks have been on Sony-owned properties like Shadow of the Colossus, Gravity Rush Remastered, and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection. It would make sense then that this “big one” is one other game with deep hyperlinks to Sony, nonetheless the studio additionally has ties to Konami by way of the Metal Gear Solid HD assortment, and EA and Microsoft by way of the Xbox 360 port of Titanfall.
Despite this, Bluepoint’s subsequent mission could possibly be one thing completely different altogether. Speaking at a GDC presentation back in April 2019, Bluepoint technical director Peter Dalton mentioned that the mission was greatest described as a “re-envisioning” quite than a remake or remaster – going additional than their work on Shadow of the Colossus.
This may recommend that Bluepoint is altering and iterating on extra options than it has in earlier games. Would that match with a game that’s as revered a fan-favourite as Demon’s Souls, which has such a attribute ‘souls-like’ type? Maybe not.
