BluePoint Games job listing hints at a 3rd-person melee-focused action title

Over the generations, BluePoint Games have gone from strength-to-strength, with the studio moving on from simple remasters in the early PS4 era to becoming one of the best teams to go to for an authentic-yet-ambitious remake project. Unfortunately, we’ve heard little from the studio ever since the release of Demon’s Souls back in 2020. That said, the team are continuing to work on something new, with a recent job listing indicating that it might be a 3rd-person melee-focused action title.

As discovered by the publication Tech4Gamers, BluePoint Games recently published a job listing for a Senior Combat Designer. While nothing crazy in and of itself, one of the job’s minimum requirements asks for “Solid understanding of mechanics for 3rd-person melee action experiences” – all-but-confirming that their upcoming project is a 3rd-person melee-focused title of sorts.

For the uninitiated, in the wake of Demon’s Souls release in 2020, BluePoint Games did start to tease their next project slightly. Though never officially announced, it was later reported that the team were working on a live-service God of War title before it was unfortunately cancelled.

Luckily, it appears as though this setback has not slowed the team down too much, with work already underway on whatever is next. Hopefully we learn about this mysterious project sooner rather than later.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
