Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Elden Ring and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware's majority owner Kadokawa Corporation.

Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Japanese media giant Kadokawa Corporation, the current majority owner of Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware, in an attempt to expand its portfolio of entertainment stuff. This is according to Reuters, which cites two sources as having revealed that talks between Sony and Kadokawa are "ongoing", with a deal potentially being sealed "in the coming weeks" if this business chatter is successful. If Sony were to buy Kadokawa, it wouldn't just be getting FromSoft, which has titles like Armored Core and Sekiro in its IP basket in addition to the games I mentioned earlier.
