Bluepoint Games has said that it’s aiming to make “Game-of-the-Year quality” titles and is actively recruiting for numerous positions – from Combat Designer to Senior Lighting Artists and Graphics Engineers.
As spotted by Twitter user Shinobi602, Bluepoint made its ambition known as an introduction to nearly all of the advertised positions, majority of which mention that the studio is looking for experienced professionals and games industry veterans as opposed to entry-level applicants.
“Bluepoint Games has begun the exciting work of original development and seeks passionate, industry-leading talent to join our pursuit in crafting Game-of-the-Year quality titles,” reads the jobs site. “Our studio is renowned for critically acclaimed titles that exceeded what the world expected of us, from the remaster of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, to the remake of Shadow of the Colossus, and most recently the PS5 launch title Demon’s Souls.”
As we previously reported, although Bluepoint seems to be moving away from remasters and remakes, “original” content could either mean a new entry in an established franchise or a new IP from scratch. As a matter of fact, it could mean both, if the studio is up for simultaneous development.
Speaking of established franchise, Last Stand Media’s Colin Moriarty (who’s pretty well-connected within the games industry) claimed to have heard through the “grapevine” that Bluepoint “may be on a journey to Yharnam.” If true, we’ll find out in due course if Sony has pegged the studio to make the next Bloodborne game rather than handing the project to FromSoftware.
