The tweet is about Returnal but the image clearly shows the Bluepoint logo and the Demon's Souls art in the back, so it must have been announced too early.

Tweet has since been deleted but this is clearly made marketing material.

Couldn't it be a genuine mistake?

Not that I doubt Bluepoint gets acquired, I just don't expect it to get announced today

It's been deleted? Weird that the tweet is about Returnal / Housemarque but the picture is Bluepoint tho lol

*edit* totally missed the Housemarque announcement. Someone on JP side must've used the wrong image lol

Lmao that's hilarious.

It must be genuine, since there's official marketing material for it. Why else would you even make that image?

I mean there is one thing putting incorrect logo there, but including DS guy into the image pretty much confirms it.

This picture also includes Demon's Souls in the background, whereas the housemarque one doesn't. So definitely not an accident imo

I think they will wait for PS Experience, to announce it along with the new MGS remake.

The logical explanation is the bluepoint acquisition will be announced in the next few hours and they want OT give space between both announcements.

LMAO what a slip up.

Who cares anyway, if true another top notch purchase for them.

Bit of a delay but looks like that poster was right.

Wonder if they will come back, I seem to remember the ban bet was flexible on the date.

yeah, no way this was a coincidence, logo + DS added to bg compared to Housemarque image

So what can we expect games wise to come out from this?

I don't want to get ahead of myself, so I'm going to keep expectations realistic and expect a full MGS1-3 Bluepoint remake exclusive to PS5 coming soon.

Playstation Japan having a 'welcome to the family, bluepoint' graphic, with demon souls in the background, seems like 85% conclusive to me! And that's me being conservative

Did PS Japan even double check, lol.

I mean, the tweet already mentioned Returnal & Housemarque, unless someone in charge of the image couldn't read any English or brain farted for a moment.

LoL Sony get a grip.

This picture also includes Demon's Souls in the background, whereas the housemarque one doesn't. So definitely not an accident imo

I mean the image with bluepoint had to have been made and it's on official channel. I would say it's true but this is Sony so who knows lol.
