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.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
