Peter Dalton is Head of Technology at Bluepoint. When asked just yesterday about Bluepoint's next project he responded that "Nothing has changed". That they are, "Still working on an original title".
Bluepoint: "Still working on original title"
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
We'll see this game in 5 years at this rate, if they survive that long.
Yes, the studio boss said they moved away from remasters and remakes to work on original content instead.
We saw they worked on GoWR as support team, and recently saw in a public slide they continue as support team. They must be working on another original title leaded by other studio.
Something that makes sense because their studio isn't big enough and misses key roles to lead their own AAA game.
In 5 years maybe Naughty Dog,Bend and Sucker Punch will also finally release a new game
Probably no one wants to be part of a remake studio forever, so what you'd have eventually is people leaving the studio so they can put their signature into original works.
You always claimed they are supporting games from other studios.
They are making their own game and they've been working on it since release of DS remake
Yes, I claimed what the facts say: after Demon's Souls they worked in original "content"/games, but as a support team in games leaded by somebody else.
Being GoWR the first one as publicly announced. Looking at its game credits and Linkedin we see all the Bluepoint devs worked on it after Demon's Souls, so nobody was free on their own game.
And also looking at the staff they have (both in GoWR game credits -or being more updated-, LinkedIn), they don't have the staff needed to lead their own game (and even less a new IP).
In the design department they only have 4 people (two of them hired after shipping GoWR), one of them level designer and the other one being combat designer. That is ok for a support (or remakes) team, but not to lead their own team.
Sony also recently shared this slide listing them as a support studio:
There isn't a single fact that says they worked as lead team in their own game after Demon's Souls. But we have several facts that say they are a support team in new games since then.
To work in a support codevelopment role in an original title is also to work in an original title. Most of the teams who work in a AAA aren't the lead dev studio.

You didn't claim with facts. The fact is that they clearly stated that they are workinh on original content since release of DS remake. You kept insisting that they are only supporting other studios and they will continue to do so.Yes, I claimed what the facts say: after Demon's Souls they worked in original "content"/games, but as a support team in games leaded by somebody else.

You can verify the GoWR game credits and compare it to the personal LinkedIn page of their workers who have it updated and detailed enough (listing projects and/or dates) to see that they basically moved from DS to GoWR (a few of them after a vacation) and that the few people who didn't work on it was because they were hired when their job on GoWR was already done. You can also check how many designers to they have.
If they were supposed to be working on their own game, then why are they listed as "partner studio" here and not the other groups where the lead dev studios are?
These are all facts.
As a personal speculation based in no facts, I'd bet their next project after GoWR is to continue supporting games leaded by SSM, being the next game Cory's new IP, which could be the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet that Sony trademarked back in February. That game could be announced later this year -maybe in their September/TGS State of Play- and released not much later, pretty likely before the end of 2025.

God of War: Ragnarök credits (PlayStation 4, 2022) - MobyGames
The official game credits for God of War: Ragnarök released on PlayStation 4 in 2022. The credits include 2,709 people.

Pretty much their entire studio is credited in GoW Ragnarok. They worked as a support studio. "Original content" doesn't mean they have their own game where they're the lead studio. Maybe they're working on support for the Venom game.
Does it cros your mind that they can make their own game ( demon souls remake)You can verify the GoWR game credits and compare it to the personal LinkedIn page of their workers who have it updated and detailed enough (listing projects and/or dates) to see that they basically moved from DS to GoWR (a few of them after a vacation) and that the few people who didn't work on it was because they were hired when their job on GoWR was already done.

Become support studio in gow ragnarok
And then going back making their own game again?
Please, you guys need to keep in mind, that Bluepoint never made "their own game".
Shadow of the colossus remake and demon souls remake came to be thanks to the collab with the Japan Studios internal team (now mostly XDev Japan).
They could be making a new original game collabing with XDev Japan, or helping with a different project like they did with Ragnarok.
(Dont expect the first thing to happen, but never say never)

the problem is that gavin moore, the game director for DSR, left Sony. Bluepoint doesn't have anyone for game design or direction that we know of.Does it cros your mind that they can make their own game ( demon souls remake)
