Acquisition Inbound - PlayStation 5 (PS5) Forum - Page 1

Zuby_Tech on Twitter has just alluded to a possible acquisition announcement which is inbound.

Any ideas who it might be? Konami in time for this Metal Gear Solid announcement? Capcom?

@itsfoz Do you think Sony would be interested in acquiring a corporation which (along with several high profile gaming IPs) owns casinos and fitness clubs and makes pachinko machines? Can't rule it out but let's say I have my doubts and I don't think that's it.

That said, I've seen some other accounts mention the same thing and I understand some of them have a decent track record with these.

@itsfoz I doubt Konami would ever happen.

I know there were rumours with regards to Ballistic Moon a few months ago, then two weeks ago on Reddit someone leaked a possible acquisition (but the message got deleted and I forgot the dev's name), so these seem most plausible.

Then there's the eternal Square-Enix rumour of course. But let's just hope it's not a big publisher like that. There's nothing to be gained from that for us, and there's no way that's good for competition.

@itsfoz I can’t see any big acquisitions worthy of a Showcase mention tbh, though I’m sure Sony will continue to pick up dev teams as and when the opportunity arises. In all honesty, I wouldn’t want any of the Showcase duration wasted with acquisitions anyway… I just want wall-to-wall game announcements after how quiet Sony has been on that front the past 20 months or so.
