PlayStation first-party studio Bluepoint Games is hiring for a new third-person melee action game.
It was announced earlier this year a live service game at Bluepoint and Days Gone developer Bend Studio were cancelled. It was reported the game at Bluepoint was a live service God of War title.
Tech4Gamers spotted a job listing at the studio for a Senior Combat Designer that reveals some details on the next game the developer is working on.
The person hired is expected to have a "solid understanding of combat systems and mechanics for 3rd-person melee action experiences" and "at least 5 years of professional experience in combat design."
The Senior Combat Designer will be responsible to "create high-level character design intent, combat flow plans, and respective systems" and "focus on character designs and mechanics from concept to implementation." They will also work on "tune key aspects of the game, including AI gameplay, character balance, and controls."
Bluepoint Games most recently supported development on 2022's God of War Ragnarok and developed 2020's Demon's Souls remake alongside Japan Studio.

Can't wait for this to be a Dark Souls remake instead of Bloodborne...
I just wanna watch the meltdown lol
What meltdown? Why would Sony remake an IP that belongs to Bandai Namco? silly comment.
"Silly comment" was the intent
Well you certainly succeeded, congrats...
Obviously this is a Knack remaster
I wish they would remake LoD, it does has melee 3rd person action as that is what the additions are, but that doesn't sound like a turn based RPG discription tho =/
So they wasted 5 years? What were they doing since releasing Demon's Souls in November 2020?
I was so glad they have re made Demon's souls as the original game didn't look appealing to me visual wise. I don't think Bloodborne needs to be re made though. Just give a 60 fps patch or a PC release and that would be enough.
I wonder if they are trying to salvage some of the work put into the live service game to produce something more traditional? I wouldn't want all my work to just be thrown out after all.
