Enthusiast forums and social media are ablaze with speculation that Sony is looking to acquire the Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, and Castlevania brands from Konami in an epic IP raid. The rumour is piggybacking off recent speculation that Sony is developing and funding various new Silent Hill titles, although those reports much more realistically claimed that the Japanese giant was merely licensing the rights to the survival horror series.

The source is a 4chan post, so it’s already on uncertain ground, although website Jack of All Controllers claims to have had the story verified by its own unknown “sources” – make of that what you will. There’s quite a lot of wishful thinking going on with this rumour, with Castlevania purportedly receiving a Bloodborne-esque reboot at Sony’s Japan Studio. That one sounds a little too good to be true, doesn’t it?
