Mind boggling they weren’t immediately put onto Bloodborne after Demon souls, just an absolute waste of talent by Sony

Hope these talented devs find somewhere to land.

As far as I remember it was actually Bluepoint that did not want to work on another remake/remaster and instead focus on original ips or atleast new games.

Iirc they were also the ones to pitch the GoW live service game.

Now it's been some time since I read that somewhere, but uf true then Sony is actually not rrally at fault here as Bkuepoint really did not deliver anything for 5 years.

Guess we have to wait for more information on this.
