I adore every Supergiant game I play, and Control is one of my favorite games in years, and I feel both companies could blossom/thrive under Sony. My top dream acquisitions would be Supergiant and Remedy. So I think this could be a very real possibility as well. And I saw someone mention they have anime properties as well-something Sony is obviously very interested in. Sony acquired a record five studios in 2021 bringing the total to 17.

I think their parent company is only a bit above $1 bil in value. This thread is to discuss and analyze Sonys new acquisition strategy. Still an acquisition of Bluepoint, Housemarque & Ember Lab is still something I really hope Sony does before they slip through the cracks like Quantic Dreams, Supermassive Games, Sanzaru Games. I’d personally prefer Sony buy Capcom instead, but I feel that’s much less likely.Īnother studio I looked into was From Software. They could definitely make it happen if they wanted to. Most people don’t realize how much money Sony has. I’ve been thinking for a while Sony buying SE could make sense. Multiple AAA IPs and dev teams that make singleplayer games, most of their fans are already on Playstation, a CGI animation studio that can join Sony studios and help make movies, skits, etc for SE, anime licenses, the capability to make mobile games and a dozen or so RPGs, something PS lacks.Īgree with pretty much everything you said. Financing is done through stock and debt, so buying SE would not be hard for Sony.

It's unclear how much money Kena had behind it, but this is. To their surprise, the game has apparently sold well, and while they don't divulge specific sale numbers, they say it's already recouped its initial development costs. KJP I think is more likely, because the engine they are using is Sony's, GG lent a lot of their staff to help on Death Stranding, KJP has a satellite studio near GG and Kojima and Sony have a really close relationship. In an interview with Bloomberg, Ember Lab heads Josh and Mike Grier discussed Kena's road from development to release. Rumour now is Kojima is doing Silent Hill with Sony from Gematsu.
