The Bluepoint Games project was a live service God of War game, which it had been working on since finishing support on God of War Ragnarok in 2022. It is currently unclear what the studio is now working on.
A spokesperson for Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed the cancellations, stating that the two games were canceled “following a recent review,” and reiterating that the PlayStation manufacturer will continue to make both single-player and online games.
“Bend and Bluepoint are highly accomplished teams who are valued members of the PlayStation Studios family, and we are working closely with each studio to determine what are the next projects,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson did not say whether the cancellations will lead to job cuts, but in a memo to staff reviewed by Bloomberg, the company said it is “working closely with Bend and Bluepoint to determine what are the next projects and plan to do everything we can to ensure there is minimal business impact.”
