Bluepoint Gameshas become renowned for its quality remakes. The studio has been responsible for remaking and remastering thecritically acclaimedShadow of Colossus,Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, andGravity Rush. A leak now suggests that the studio is working on two remakes exclusively for the PlayStation 5 that will excite fans and nostalgic gamers.
The leak suggests that a remake of theJak and Daxtertrilogy is scheduled to be released alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5 and a remake ofBlood Omen: Legacy of Kainis set to be released in 2021. If this is the case, many players will be excited to revisit these titles, andfans ofJak and Daxterwill be happy to finally get new content from the series.

Both of these remakes seem to be a considerable shift from the originals.Jak and Daxterwill place the events of the trilogy into one coherent game according to this leak. The leak claims there will be new narrative and gameplay elements that will be integrated into this well-known story. This may cause concerns for fans of the series, and it will be interesting to see how smoothly new features can be integrated. This leak also states that one of the primary developers of the original titles, Naughty Dog, is collaborating withBluepoint Gameson the title.
Much likeJak and Daxter, theLegacy of Kainfranchise also had canceled gamesdespite a loyal fan base. The first game ofLegacy of Kainfranchise seems to be undergoing an even more substantial remake that theJak and Daxtergames. The game is said to be being made as part of a collaboration with Square Enix, and it intends to re-purpose the plot for a major update to the gameplay.
With the remake ofLegacy of Kain, Bluepoint is trying to mirror its success at updating the mood and environment as it did withShadow of Colossus. Square Enix is apparently focusing on keeping the puzzle and adventure elements from the original game while introducing aspects of theDark Soulsseries.Other games have tried to incorporate gameplay like that seen inDark Souls, and for fans of the game, it likely means that the remake will be much more difficult in terms of combat. On the other hand, theDark Soulsgames are enigmatic, and this may also be an element that theLegacy of Kainuses alongside its morally ambiguous plot.
While leaks should be taken with a degree of skepticism, these rumored remakes look like they will make these franchises relevant once more. It seems that Bluepoint Games has big plans for these titles, and if this rumor is true, then many players will putJak and Daxteramongstthe most anticipated games of this year. And of course, it should be mentioned that this stands in contradiction to the teasedDemon’s SoulsandLegend of Dragoonremakes.
