Sony's rumored plans to purchase FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa might have hit a speedbump that could lead to no deal being made.

Sony may be poised to have another major weapon in its arsenal. Reuters (and now Nikkei) is reporting that Sony is in talks to acquire Kadokawa, the parent company of FromSoftware which is the developer of games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls.

As Sony’s pursuit of Kadokawa rumbles on, financial experts have said the PlayStation maker may find it hard to buy the entirety of FromSoftware’s parent company. Japan’s Toyo Keizai (via Automaton) reported that Sony may be put off the deal due to the cost of having to acquire all of Kadokawa,

As reports emerge about Sony possibly acquiring FromSoftware, it's worth wondering just how the two companies might function if they do indeed merge.

Japanese media firm Kadokawa, a company with a controlling stake in Elden Ring creator FromSoftware, confirmed Sony is looking to buy.

Kadokawa Corporation has confirmed it has received a buyout offer from Sony, but insists it has yet to make a decision on whether to sell up.

FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa, is reportedly the one pushing Sony to acquire it, rather than Sony trying to convince Kadokawa to be acquired.

One of the gaming industry's premiere developers potentially being locked down to a single platform doesn't benefit fans whatsoever.

Sony is in talks to purchase multimedia conglomerate Kadokawa, potentially making them the majority owner of FromSoftware. Acquisition makes sense post-scandal, with appeal beyond FromSoftware due to access to Kadokawa's anime library.

Sony has made FromSoftware’s parent company a buyout offer, but a new report suggests that Kadokawa are the ones pushing to be purchased.

Reuters reported Tuesday that Sony is in talks to buy Japanese media company Kadokawa, which is the majority owner of Elden Ring developer FromSoftware. Kadokawa also has significant holdings in the anime and manga industries.
