Elden Ring Dev Doesn’t Currently Know What’s Happening with Sony Acquisition

In a recent turn of events, it has been reported that Kadokawa Corporation, the parent company of FromSoftware, is in talks with Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) for a potential acquisition. While this news has created a buzz in the gaming industry, it seems that not everyone is in the know about the development. In a recent interview with Push Square, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the Elden Ring and president of FromSoftware, revealed that he doesn’t currently know what’s happening with the acquisition.

According to Miyazaki, Kadokawa Corporation has not shared any information with them regarding the acquisition, and they are still waiting for an official announcement from Sony. While this may come as a surprise to some, it’s worth noting that FromSoftware is just one of several subsidiaries under the Kadokawa Group umbrella, and it’s possible that the company hasn’t deemed it necessary to inform every single employee about the ongoing negotiations.

Despite the lack of information, Miyazaki remains optimistic about the potential acquisition. In his interview with Push Square, he expressed his belief that Sony’s resources and expertise could help FromSoftware to create even better games in the future. He also mentioned that the company’s focus on creating high-quality games will remain unchanged, regardless of whether or not the acquisition goes through.

It’s worth noting that Kadokawa Corporation has been facing financial difficulties in recent years, and the acquisition by Sony could potentially provide a much-needed influx of cash and resources. However, it’s also important to consider the potential impact on FromSoftware’s creative autonomy and the future of their games.

While Sony has confirmed its interest in acquiring Kadokawa Group, no official announcement has been made regarding the status of the acquisition. In the meantime, fans of FromSoftware can only speculate about what the future may hold for the studio and its beloved franchises.

In conclusion, while the potential acquisition of Kadokawa Corporation by Sony Interactive Entertainment remains a topic of interest in the gaming industry, it’s clear that not everyone is in the know about the development. FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki has expressed optimism about the potential acquisition, but the lack of information shared with the studio highlights the complex nature of such business negotiations. As the gaming world waits for an official announcement, fans can only hope that the acquisition will bring positive changes to FromSoftware and its future games.
