As a devoted gamer with years of experience under my belt, this potential acquisition of Kadokawa by Sony is nothing short of electrifying news! From Software, the masterminds behind Elden Ring and the legendary Dark Souls series, could soon be part of the PlayStation family. If you’ve ever battled it out in the Lands Between or braved the treacherous halls of Lordran, you know what a game-changer this could be!
Reports indicate that Sony Corporation, the umbrella organization for PlayStation, might be negotiating a takeover of Kadokawa, the parent company of Elden Ring creator FromSoftware. It seems that both parties have been in discussions, and there’s a likelihood an acquisition announcement could surface within the coming weeks.
As a gamer, I’ve heard whispers that Sony might be expanding its gaming empire. If this acquisition goes through, Sony could potentially claim the rights to Elden Ring and future projects from FromSoftware – creators of Demon Souls (already under Sony’s wing) and Dark Souls (currently managed by Bandai Namco). Interestingly, Tenchu, Spike Chunsoft (Danganronpa), also owned by Kadokawa Corporation, would presumably join the fold in any potential merger. Already holding a 2% stake in Kadokawa, Sony seems to be gearing up for a bigger role.
Kadokawa’s business isn’t limited to the gaming world. This company is also involved in anime and manga production, with notable franchises such as Re:Zero and Delicious in Dungeon under their belt. In 2021, Sony made a significant acquisition by purchasing Crunchyroll, an anime streaming service, for more than one billion dollars.

1) Among the largest video games globally, Elden Ring has sold more than 25 million copies even prior to the release of its Shadow of the Erdtree extension. This action role-playing game was also named TopMob’s Game of the Year for the year 2022.
In June, Shadow of the Erdtree was warmly received by both critics and audiences. The Elden Ring expansion has been shortlisted for several categories at The Game Awards 2024, including the prestigious Game of the Year award.
Recently, Firewalk Studios, a game developer owned by Sony, closed down following the underperformance of their latest shooter game release. Earlier in the year, Sony announced layoffs for around 900 gaming employees and scrapped several PlayStation projects as well.
