Sony Eyes FromSoftware Acquisition Amid Industry Buzz
Former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra considers Sony's potential acquisition of FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, as one of the most significant in gaming history, rivaled only by Microsoft's purchase of Minecraft. Ybarra praises FromSoftware's consistent release of high-quality games and suggests that only acquisitions of Valve or Nintendo would be bigger. However, he expresses concern over potential layoffs, citing Microsoft's recent job cuts post-Activision Blizzard acquisition. A positive outcome could be a Bloodborne remake, as Sony owns the rights to the game.
