At a time when manufacturers are buying studios with a vengeance, Sony is no exception and did not hesitate to acquire Bungie but also the very young Haven studio. Nevertheless, if we could have believed that the company was going to stop there, we learned that the firm had invested a big ticket in Epic Games, a small ticket of a billion dollars.
You thought that was all? Well no ! There could be a new earthquake in the world of the video game industry. An update to the official PlayStation Studios blog has indeed caused trouble.
Kojima Productions acquired by Sony?
It’s actually on the official PlayStation Studios blog that one element jumped out at a lot of players. On its banner, now appears on the left of it an image of the flagship title of Kojima Productions, Death Stranding. Although the license does indeed belong to Sony, this photo raised quite a few questions.
Is Kojima Productions now part of PlayStation Studios? Did Sony buy Kojima’s studio? In addition, you are aware that a few days ago, the first concerned had published on social networks a photo of his office in the premises of Sony, empty. Maybe a move to PlayStation Studios?
Such a redemption would not be really surprising when we know how much Hideo Kojima is particularly fond of Sony. Proof of this is its Death Stranding license which has been a temporary exclusive for PlayStation players for many months. On the other hand, several rumors have also been announcing for several weeks that the firm (Sony) would be working on a project silent Hill.
But before jumping to any conclusion, it’s worth remembering that this is just a banner update, and maybe Sony just wanted to show off all of its games? Just as certain information announced on the other hand thata new deal between Microsoft and Hideo Kojima was about to be concluded, although again, these are only rumors and speculations. Either way, if such a takeover has taken place, we will most likely know more in the days, if not hours, to come.
