#Bend Studio

Sony has reportedly scrapped a live service God of War project in development at Bluepoint Games, the studio best known for its high-quality remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls. The cancellation, first reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, also extends to another unannounced title from Days Gone developer Bend Studio. While Sony has confirmed that these projects are no longer in development, it reassured that neither studio is facing closure. Bluepoint had been working on the God of War title for several years, though the studio had remained tight-lipped about the project. Given Bluepoint’s pedigree for remakes and remasters, speculation has already begun regarding whether the studio might pivot back to revamping another PlayStation classic rather than attempting a new live service venture. The company has been aggressively investing in multiplayer-focused experiences, acquiring studios and greenlighting numerous projects to compete with the industry’s biggest live-service titles. While Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead Studios was a major success despite some controversy over PlayStation Network account requirements on PC, other live service efforts haven’t fared as well. As Sony reevaluates its approach, fans will be watching closely to see what Bluepoint and Bend Studio work on next.
