PlayStation could also be acquiring Bluepoint Games after PlayStation Japan accidentally uploaded an image of the developer’s logo alongside the rest of the Sony-owned studios. The cover of Bluepoint’s Demon’s Souls is visible in the background, so it’s probably not a mistake. Someone at Sony put the graphic together, so it seems likely that Bluepoint Games will be joining the PlayStation family. Sony might have avoided a joint announcement as to not take the spotlight away from either team.
