Jeff Grubb Claims Rumoured PlayStation Acquisition Is "Bigger Than Kojima Production"
The rumour about PlayStation's next acquisition has created a whirlwind over the last few days. What started off as just a character being added to a banner, turned into one of the most prominent video game directors stepping in to clarify matters. However, it seems that there's another twist in this rumour mill, and it comes courtesy of GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb.
According to Grubb, the acquisition rumours were never about Kojima Productions in the first place. The addition of Sam Bridges to a collage of PlayStation Studios characters ignited rumours that Kojima Productions was Sony's next acquisition target. However, Hideo Kojima himself put all rumours to rest by tweeting, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but Kojima Productions has been and will continue to be an independent studio."

People were hearing this stuff, including me. That was not a name that was thrown around, it was bigger than Kojima Productions."
Grubb's claim that Sony's rumoured acquisition target is "bigger" than Kojima Productions once again sets the rumour mill going. Of course, given how things have been going, there's no saying who this "big" studio could be. Microsoft's deal with Activision Blizzard as well as Sony's with Bungie, remained completely under the radar till they were officially announced. Looks like big studios can keep secrets, when they want to.
A lot is going on at PlayStation at the moment. Project
