Bluepoint Games Posts Hiring Ads for Third-Person Melee Action After Canceled Project

Fresh job ads suggest the studio is moving toward its next game rather than idling after January’s cancellation.

Overview

  • The Senior Combat Designer listing seeks a candidate with a "solid understanding of combat systems and mechanics for third-person melee action experiences."
  • A Senior Level Designer role references tuning "events, interactions, encounters, puzzles, and collision," indicating encounter and puzzle design are in scope.
  • Sony confirmed in January that Bluepoint’s live-service title was canceled and said the studio would remain open as it works with PlayStation Studios to determine its next projects.
  • Reporting tied the scrapped game to the God of War series, and Bluepoint has previously supported God of War Ragnarok and handled earlier God of War collections.
  • Speculation over a potential Bloodborne remake has resurfaced, but outlets caution the job ads do not name an IP or confirm any specific project.
