Sony Interactive Entertainment yesterday announced it had acquired Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls remake developer Bluepoint Games.
Video Game data analyst Millie Amand via Twitter said the newly acquired studio is working on two games. One of the games is a "remake of a beloved game," while the other is an original game with a size similar to Insomniac's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Amand added the remake is not a a Metal Gear Solid project and a new a Metal Gear Solid game is in development by an Asian based developer.
Sorry all, 100% not Metal Gear Solid.

Sorry to disappoint but Bluepoint Games are not working on a Metal Gear Solid project in any capacity.

A Metal Gear project is in the works but it is being developed by an Asian based developer. (Not Japanese I hear)

That's cool, but the real news is that a new Metal Gear game is being developed. Not that I have very much faith in it, knowing Konami these days...
If their previous work is anything to go by then I have a feeling we could all be in for one heck of a treat.
-GOOD TRACK RECORD NINJA APPROVED-
I want to see them work on The Legend of Dragoon Remake. And then give them the reigns to develop it into a franchise.
Maybe one of them is Legend of Dragoon. I guess some could hope.
-I WANT TO BELIEEEEEEVE! NINJA APPROVED-
The first 2 God of War games, that would be epic. That would put the last GOW game and even Ragnarok to shame, no matter how Ragnarok will be.
Not sure how much trustworthy this rumor is. BP is kinda small (70 people) to be working on two games at once, even more one brand new IP (a thing they still don't have experience, unless of course it is in pre-production, developing the concept to determine the hiring needed to make the game that will launch in like 3 to 5 years).
70 people + Outsourcing. On top of that Sony trying to leverage shared assets between Insomniac available to Bluepoint. Remake are Cash Cow and Sony get to growth their library with a new IP. Very smart move that should be copied.
AAA studios nowadays having 300 people in house to do a single game and still outsource, but you think 70 people on the studio (which aren't all devs of course) doing 2 titles at once is credible. Even the likes of SSM hadn't 2 titles at once on PS4 gen and well didn't release 2 games during that gen. I take this rumor with a mountain of salt.
"An original game" just sounds so weird.
Why? That is what you call if it is a new IP made by themselves.
