In a recent interview with IGN, Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda expressed his disappointment and sadness over the closure of Bluepoint Games, the studio behind the acclaimed remakes of Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Ueda had collaborated with Bluepoint on multiple projects, including the 2011 Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection and the 2018 Shadow of the Colossus remake. Despite being caught off guard by the closure, Ueda expressed hope for a future collaboration with Bluepoint. However, he found it difficult to speculate on potential projects, suggesting that if they had worked together again, it may have involved another excellent remake like their previous collaborations. When asked about the possibility of an Ico remake, Ueda hinted at the idea with a smile, leaving gamers eager for what could have been. Ueda is currently working on gen ATLAS, his upcoming sci-fi adventure featuring giant robots, marking a departure from his traditional fantasy settings. Bluepoint Games, unfortunately, ceased operations in 2026 after Sony canceled an unannounced live-service God of War title they were developing. Prior to their shutdown, the studio had been working on various concepts, including a Ghost of Tsushima spinoff, Bloodborne remaster, and renewed Shadow of the Colossus remake, but there was no mention of an Ico project. Ueda's new game, gen ATLAS, received its full reveal at this year’s Summer Game Fest and will be published by Epic, marking his first non-PlayStation exclusive release. Stay tuned for more updates from the interview with Fumito Ueda as we delve deeper into gen ATLAS, its themes, gameplay, and more.
