Sony forms ‘business alliance’ with Elden Ring firm but doesn’t buy all of it A team-up between Sony and Kadokawa seems more focused on accelerating movie and TV adaptations than making Elden Ring a PlayStation exclusive.
Last month, it was reported that Sony was gearing up for a potentially massive acquisition, of Elden Ring developer FromSoftware and its parent company Kadokawa Corporation.
Ultimately, Sony isn’t buying out Kadokawa in its entirety, so don’t expect any future Elden Ring sequels or spin-offs to suddenly go PlayStation-only.
That will make the PlayStation company Kadokawa’s largest shareholder, according to a joint statement from both companies, giving them more influence than anyone else over the company’s future.
Sony originally only had a 1.93% stake in Kadokawa, but these additional shares will bump that stake up to 10%.
