Sony is reportedly in discussions to acquire Kadokawa Corporation, the parent company of FromSoftware, known for titles like ‘Elden Ring’ and the ‘Dark Souls’ series. This move could be one of the most significant in the gaming industry since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard and Sony’s own purchase of Bungie.

FromSoftware has a history with Sony, having developed PlayStation exclusives such as ‘Bloodborne’ and ‘Demon’s Souls’.

Beyond gaming, Kadokawa holds substantial influence in the anime and manga sectors, areas where Sony has already established a presence through its acquisition of Crunchyroll.

The potential acquisition raises questions about the future of FromSoftware’s games. Could we see more PlayStation exclusives or enhanced collaborations? Additionally, Kadokawa’s extensive portfolio in anime and manga could bolster Sony’s content offerings, potentially leading to new adaptations and cross-media projects.

While the deal is not yet finalized, the gaming community is abuzz with speculation. Fans are particularly hopeful for a ‘Bloodborne’ re-release or sequel, given Sony’s potential increased influence over FromSoftware’s projects.

As discussions progress, the industry watches closely, anticipating how this acquisition might reshape the gaming and entertainment landscape. The collaboration between Sony and Kadokawa could lead to exciting developments for gamers and anime enthusiasts alike.

Ysmael “Eng” Delicana is a writer based in Davao City, Philippines. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics at Ateneo de Davao University before continuing to teach part-time at the same university. While teaching was a fun gig, being a geek and a writer seemed to be his calling. His expertise includes fantasy shows and movies, comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and popular RPG video games. Ysmael also excels at learning new things and getting to know new topics that are interesting yet foreign to him, and that’s why he can also be called a jack of all trades. He also works as a part-time writer for books about sports. As an avid fan of fantasy TV shows, video games, and books, Ysmael is fond of watching, playing, and reading things related to fantasy, magic, and mystical creatures. However, he is also a huge fan of anime, as he spends a portion of his time watching shonen anime. As long as something is interesting and worth his time, Ysmael tends to devote his effort to it, as he has been great at geeking out about a certain topic. Ysmael’s writing style tends to be quite conversational in the sense that he likes speaking to the readers instead of making them feel like they are reading something tedious. He picked up this during his teaching years because he needed to find ways to simplify topics that tend to be foreign and complex to students. Ysmael also writes for Comic Basics.
