DeveloperBluepoint Gamescontinues to tease gamers with the possibility of several remakes in the works. Not long ago a shortlist of titles appeared that were prime candidates for Bluepoint – titles likeDemon’s SoulsandSyphon Filter– but the studio is now suggesting that it is actually working on two game remakes.
On Twitter, the Bluepoint Games account posted another cryptic Tweet featuring what most assume is a coded message. At a glance, the message reads like complete nonsense, but many are interpreting some of the phrasings to mean more than that.

Arguably the most important detail from the message, is the section that takes about rekindling flames. A common trope in theSoulsseries, kindling flames has strong ties to From Software’s ultra-challenging third person action series.
Of course, this could be fans reading into things since there have been rumors of aDemon’s Soulsremakefor a while now. While From Software has found a lot of success sinceDemon’s Souls, many may not be familiar with the game that set things off. It also seems strange thatDark Souls 1would get a remaster (and a Switch release) andDemon’s Soulswould be neglected. That is, if a different studio wasn’t already working on a remake forDemon’s Souls.
But if this message is connected to Demon’s Souls, many wonder if one of the earlier teases from Bluepoint is for a different game. That tease included mentions of “dart,” who is the main character in thePS1-era JRPGLegend of Dragoon. Admittedly,Legend of Dragoondoes not have as strong of cache as something like Demon’s Souls, but there is a following for the game nonetheless.
So if one message is forDemon’s Soulsand another forLegend of Dragoonit stands to reason that Bluepoint Games could be working on at least two remakes. The studio has had a lot of success byremaking games likeShadow of the Colossususing an updated graphics engine and preserving the gameplay. And now when the studio starts discussing any project, most assume that it is a remake.
But given the studio’s proclivity for teases there have emerged several candidates for remakes. BothLegend of DragoonandDemon’s Soulsare high on the list, butSyphon Filter,Metal Gear Solid, andCastlevaniahave some roots in the studio’s cryptic messaging. With The Game Awards right around the corner, it’s very likely that Bluepoint will be part of the show’s big reveals, potentially showing off two different games.
