One of the gaming industry's premiere developers potentially being locked down to a single platform doesn't benefit fans whatsoever.
have emerged this morning claiming that Sony is interested in buying FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa. The move is far from official just yet, but both sides seem to be inching closer to a deal that could come about in the days or weeks ahead. If that happens, it could see FromSoftware partially controlled by PlayStation in a move that would be a net negative for the gaming industry as a whole.
Outside of simply belonging to Sony, the other issue that this scenario brings to a head is FromSoftware’s IP ownership. While FromSoftware does happen to own Elden Ring, Armored Core, There’s also just the simple fact that PlayStation Studios has been a mess recently and isn’t the most ideal home for FromSoftware. In the past year alone, Sony has, which was by far Sony’s biggest previous acquisition to this point. To put it simply, PlayStation Studios is floundering and can’t properly manage what it already has on its plate.
