Kadokawa Acknowledges Sony’s Interest“No Decision Has Been Made”

Kadokawa, FromSoft Parent Company and Anime Powerhouse, Confirms Sony's Interest in Acquisition

Japanese conglomerate Kadokawa Corporation has put out an official statement confirming that they have received "a letter of intent to acquire the Company’s (Kadokawa Corporation) shares" from Sony Interactive Entertainment, but noted that no decision has been made as of yet. Should any facts and news be announced in the coming future, they will be sure to make an announcement "in a timely and appropriate manner."

This official announcement follows yesterday’s report by Reuters that Sony Interactive Entertainment is striving to acquire the Japanese media powerhouse that is Kadokawa, whose offerings range from anime and manga to the video game industry. Acquisition of Kadokawa by Sony Interactive Entertainment will bring Elden Ring studio FromSoftware under their wing, alongside other notable studios such as Spike Chunsoft (Dragon Quest), and Acquire (Mario & Luigi: Brothership). With the tech giant backing them up, FromSoftware’s other PlayStation exclusive titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne might just get a revival.

If a deal is made, Sony Interactive Entertainment may also have a hand in the publishing and distribution of anime and manga in the West, with Kadokawa primarily known for being a large-scale distributor of various media. However, response to the news has been lukewarm at most by netizens on social media. For more information, check out Game8’s previous article on the Sony-Kadokawa acquisition talks.
