Report: Sony wants to acquire FromSoftware

[VictoryAtNight]

A new report from Reuters claims that Sony is currently in talks about a potential acquisition of the Japanese conglomerate Kadokawa Corporation. Kadokawa Corporation owns a significant number of companies, and an acquisition would shake up the video game, anime, and manga industries in major ways. In terms of gaming publishers, Kadokawa wholly owns Spike Chunsoft, Acquire, Gotcha Gotcha Games, and FromNetworks. It also owns a 69.66% stake in Elden Ring creator FromSoftware, with Sony already owning 14.09%. Reuters reached out to both companies, but Sony declined to comment, while Kadokawa has said that it cannot comment.
