The remake of Shadow of the Colossus (Buy now on Amazon *) was an enormous success for the Bluepoint Games team, which was well received by both gamers and critics. So it is not surprising that one of the co-owners announced that the next project will also be a classic remake.
Shadow of the Colossus - Interview with a Bluepoint developer
In an interview with Eurogamer magazine, Marco Thrush said that although the studio had the capacity for a newly developed AAA title, it was still planning another remake. The work on Shadow of the Colossus has at least brought the graphics department at Bluepoint Games to a point and size where an AAA title would be possible. In the course of the next project, it is planned to perfect the engine and the workflow in such a way that it will hopefully be possible afterwards to develop in-house at the high level sought.
Despite these interesting insights into how the studio is slowly expanding and also wants to establish itself as a developer with long-term plans in the industry, Thrush unfortunately did not reveal any details about the new project. So far, there is no indication of which game the team will play next. The assumption is of course a PlayStation or Sony title, as there was already a close collaboration with Shadow of the Colossus. Likewise, the experiences with the remake of the PlayStation exclusive title could be used without the developers having to familiarize themselves with the Xbox architecture, for example.
So it just remains to be seen until there is an official announcement.
