The names are linked and an announcement is still awaited. Kojima Productions won’t be PlayStation’s next acquisition. The editor would have caught a bigger fish in his nets.
Kojima off. The list of candidates for a possible PlayStation takeover is shrinking. And yet, such a one insider Seriously, the Japanese publisher’s next acquisition would be even bigger than the studio behind Death Stranding.
A bigger acquisition than Kojima Productions
PlayStation would have their sights set on a bigger fish than Kojima. For several weeks there have been persistent rumors of a studio takeover that will expand the ranks of the blue brand. Players all go back and forth with their prediction insider
The man, the legend, the myth itself quickly calmed their enthusiasm. Kojima Productions will remain an independent studio. Regardless, PlayStation’s next acquisition would be even bigger. Before the Metal Gear Solid creator came to refute the rumour, the renowned Jeff Grubb had said:
As far as I know, Kojima Productions was never mentioned. It was never the name heard by those in the know about PlayStation’s upcoming acquisition, myself included. It’s even bigger than Kojima Productions.
Who will be the next studio taken over by PlayStation?
A PlayStation acquisition bigger than Kojima’s studio? The likely candidates are quite few. However, Microsoft has shown us that we must strive for the impossible. For their part, fans are openly hoping for an acquisition of FromSoftware, which recently enjoyed critical and commercial success with Elden Ring. However, Jeff Grubb’s teaser might indicate that it would be a publisher and there is a choice.
A rumor had hinted at a closer collaboration between PlayStation and Square Enix with PS5 exclusives from the group’s flagship licenses, including Final Fantasy. However, the Japanese publisher denied a few days ago that it was interested in a takeover. At this stage, Capcom, Sega, Bandai Namco, or even Konami could be potential candidates. It must be awaited until the announcement of this takeover is fixed. And should the rumors come true, it will surely hit like a bombshell like Activision-Blizzard and Bethesda.
