It was inevitable that Sony would acquire Bluepoint, though. Bluepoint, established in 2006, has been responsible for some of PlayStation’s bestselling games: the PlayStation 5 remake of Demon’s Souls (of which more than 1.4 million copies sold since release) the PlayStation 4 remake of Shadow Of The Colossus, Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection – a major overhaul of the first Uncharted game with upgrades given to the second and third in the series – and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
