While they may not be ideal remasters or remakes coming to multiple platforms, they are competent releases that show Konami is still interested in keeping the brand around. The silver lining to this is that Metal Gear Solid fans will not be left high and dry considering Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 released on GOG.com a year ago.

It's not out of the question that Sony could permit Bluepoint to do a job for a trusted publisher, but that's wishful thinking and a long way off if it does happen. The company will likely be covering Sony projects exclusively, not contacted by external sources for jobs. Now that the studio is owned by Sony, it's unlikely Konami will be able to work with Bluepoint directly again. Bluepoint worked on Metal Gear Solid HD Collection early in its life, and it was one of the few non-Sony remasters or ports that it handled. Now, it doesn't look like the company get the chance. Still, as Bluepoint has handled part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, people assumed it could do a good job with the franchise. There were some concerns over a large number of artistic changes in the Demon's Souls Remake and the precedent set by Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, an existing remake that is looked upon unfavorably. Rumors of such a collab have been buzzing for the past year as Konami's somewhat bitter fanbase united to figure out what the future of its franchises will be. Many Metal Gear fans wanted the historic franchise to pass into Bluepoint's hands. Metal Gear Solid is Likely Out of Bluepoint's Hands RELATED: Why Demon's Souls is Perfect for a PC Port This news is largely positive for Sony fans, although certain communities are going to be left mourning the loss of potential remakes. While Bluepoint has not worked exclusively for Sony in the past, it is commonly associated with Sony game, adding further context as to why this deal went through. This was the culmination of its past work on high-quality remasters, such as the God of War Collection on PS3 and PS Vita, as well as Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for PS4. Bluepoint Games is not the first new arrival in this effort, and it likely won't be the last.īluepoint Games is behind the prestigious Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls remakes, taking these older games with fairly well-regarded art styles and bringing them to modern hardware with as much polish as possible. It wants to bolster its PS5 output and port the PlayStation’s biggest recent hits to PC.

This matches Sony's recent track record of acquiring different companies to staff itself up for the generation ahead.

This acquisition was leaked several months ago and denied at the time, but now it has become official that Bluepoint is joining the Sony family. Recently, it was confirmed that Sony made the move everyone expected: acquiring Bluepoint Games.
