Is PlayStation about to acquire Elden Ring developer FromSoftware?
✖ Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Sony is close to finalizing a new acquisition, and according to the latest rumblings, it may be the biggest acquisition made by PlayStation yet. One of the names that has been thrown around here and there is FromSoftware, a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation. The Japanese studio being owned by another company makes a deal for FromSoftware more complicated, but far from impossible.
The tweet comes the way of Shawne Benson, the Director, Global Head of Third Party Portfolio at PlayStation. There's not much to the tweet, but it's enough to ignite speculation in an environment ripe for speculation because of all the recent rumors. The tweet in question was made this week, and shows Benson posing with a giant Elden Ring statue, accompanied by the following caption:"Just showing my new work bestie around campus.
Again, there's not much to this tweet, and without the rumor mill hot with PlayStation acquisition rumors, this may not garner any attention, but this hypothetical reality is just that, hypothetical. With a million PlayStation acquisition rumors going around, and with FromSoftware involved in some of this scuttlebutt, this tweet was always going to add fuel to the fire. — Shawne Benson April 22, 2022 For now, take all of this for what it is, which is complete and utter speculation.
