"Devastating": Game devs send outpouring of love to Sony's latest closed PlayStation studio Bluepoint, saying "the sheer amount of institutional knowledge lost is quite literally staggering"

Sony closed Bluepoint Studios, shuttering the 70-person team behind acclaimed PlayStation remakes like Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls. The studio was acquired by Sony in 2021 and reportedly pivoted to a God of War live-service game that was canceled last January. Game developers expressed concern about the loss of institutional knowledge and questioned why Sony would dismantle a studio known for prestige remake work.
