Kadokawa, FromSoft Parent Company and Anime Powerhouse, Confirms Sony's Interest in Acquisition

Dans une récente déclaration, Kadokawa Corporation a reconnu la réception d'une lettre d'intention de Sony pour acquérir ses actions. La société a souligné que l'affaire reste à l'étude et qu'aucun accord définitif n'avait été conclu. Tout développement futur sera communiqué de manière transparente et rapide.

Cette confirmation suit un rapport de Reuters suggérant la poursuite de Kadokawa de Sony, un acteur majeur dans l'anime, les mangas et les jeux vidéo. Une acquisition réussie apporterait depuis Software (créateurs d'Elden Ring) sous le parapluie de Sony, aux côtés d'autres studios éminents comme Spike Chunsoft et Acquire. Cela pourrait potentiellement conduire à des réévaluations des exclusivités PlayStation de FromSoftware, telles que Dark Souls et Bloodborne.

L'implication de Sony pourrait également avoir un impact significatif sur l'édition et la distribution occidentales de l'anime et des mangas, étant donné la vaste portée de Kadokawa sur ces marchés. Cependant, les réactions en ligne initiales ont été relativement disposées. Pour un contexte plus détaillé, reportez-vous à la couverture précédente de Game8 des discussions Sony-Kadokawa.

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
