In an interview with Digital Foundry, Marco Thrush - Bluepoint Games’ president and co-owner - has confirmed that the studio is currently working on a new title, in the form of another remaster. The studio’s latest project - the second remake of the iconic PlayStation 2 original, Shadow of the Colossus - has been an overwhelming success, having already broken its own sales records, while remaining at the top of the charts since its release in early February.

While he did not divulge any additional details about the nature of the remaster or how long the studio has been working on the unnamed project, Thrush indicated that the size and scope of the project exceeds that of Shadow of the Colossus. Also coming out of the interview, was discussion surrounding the overarching idea and capabilities that Bluepoint Games currently possesses for creating its own original titles and content from the ground up.

During the interview, Thrush conveyed a confidence with Bluepoint in its ability to successfully remaster triple-A titles. He also indicated that working on another remastering project is just a stepping stone towards potentially developing an original title. Expanding the studio’s team and capacity is at the forefront of Thrush’s mind regarding the overall direction for the Texas-based company.

Thrush’s confidence in Bluepoint is certainly warranted. The studio has maintained a niche-focus on impressively remastering games since its inception in 2006, including big-name franchises such as God of War, Metal Gear Solid, and Uncharted.

Having the responsibility of remaking classic, popular titles is no easy feat, in any industry. The video gaming community is especially vocal if studios release lackluster games or content. Given its track record and the specific franchises that they were responsible for remaking, there is little doubt that Bluepoint Studios could hold its own if it were to ever release an original game. The studio’s steadfast focus on creating quality remakes and exceeding expectations should provide gamers with a significant amount of confidence that an original title would be great. This also brings up a fun thought from a full-circle perspective: If Bluepoint were to release its own original game with success and solid fanfare, would they continue to remake their own game as console generations come and go?
