Bluepoint has less than 100 employees total. I would be shocked if they could have been working on multiple projects after working on Ragnarok between 2020-2022 and then this live service.
As for Bend, who here was trying to say they weren’t working on a live service even though everything regarding the project was for live service positions? lol
What a shame though. I don’t see how a God of War live service game would’ve worked tbh, so that’s for the best, but now what for Bluepoint? Bend, we’ll never know what the new IP was going to be. This is now……7 of Jim Ryan’s live service games that have now been cancelled or failed? Somewhere around there. It sounds like Sony is righting the ship though. Unfortunately, who know when we’ll ever see a new game from either studio now.
Ooooooh damn! All for 1 major success and 1 major failure. And 1 good success in GT7
