These acquisitions are highly unlikely, but a boy can dream. I adore every Supergiant game I play, and Control is one of my favorite games in years, and I feel both companies could blossom/thrive under Sony. My top dream acquisitions would be Supergiant and Remedy. Sony acquired a record five studios in 2021 bringing the total to 17. So I think this could be a very real possibility as well. This thread is to discuss and analyze Sonys new acquisition strategy. And I saw someone mention they have anime properties as well-something Sony is obviously very interested in. I think their parent company is only a bit above $1 bil in value. I’d personally prefer Sony buy Capcom instead, but I feel that’s much less likely.Īnother studio I looked into was From Software. Now, a month after the release of the fantasy action title, both Ember Lab and Sony seem satisfied with the release.

Ember Lab’s first video game venture was supported by Sony throughout its production and release.

They could definitely make it happen if they wanted to. Kena: Bridge of Spirits was released in September 2021 for the PS 5 and PS 4, and the PC platform. Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda has brought about a major shift in power in the industry, with eight studios and several major AAA IP suddenly joining the Xbox Game Studios pipeline. Most people don’t realize how much money Sony has. I’ve been thinking for a while Sony buying SE could make sense.


Multiple AAA IPs and dev teams that make singleplayer games, most of their fans are already on Playstation, a CGI animation studio that can join Sony studios and help make movies, skits, etc for SE, anime licenses, the capability to make mobile games and a dozen or so RPGs, something PS lacks.Īgree with pretty much everything you said. Financing is done through stock and debt, so buying SE would not be hard for Sony. KJP I think is more likely, because the engine they are using is Sony's, GG lent a lot of their staff to help on Death Stranding, KJP has a satellite studio near GG and Kojima and Sony have a really close relationship. Rumour now is Kojima is doing Silent Hill with Sony from Gematsu.
