Sony has announced a new strategic partnership with FromSoftware's parent company, which is considered one of the most successful companies in the gaming world. This is not a full acquisition, as many had anticipated.

Under this agreement, Sony now owns 10% of the company's shares, making it the largest shareholder, with a value reaching 50 billion Japanese yen! This amount also includes the shares that Sony purchased in 2021 from Kadokawa, which is FromSoftware's parent company.

This partnership comes at a very important time, especially after FromSoftware's massive success with its legendary games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls. This partnership means that Sony will help FromSoftware achieve greater ambitions and reach a larger number of players around the world.

The president of Kadokawa stated that he is fully confident in Sony's capabilities and said that this collaboration will be a major turning point for the company. Sony will not only provide financial support but will also offer logistical and technical support to help them expand their fan base.

Gamers around the world are now asking: Does this partnership mean we will see new PlayStation-exclusive games from FromSoftware? And will this affect the gaming audience on other platforms?

What's clear now is that Sony is trying to strategically expand its influence in the gaming world rather than making full acquisitions. This step could be the beginning of larger collaborations between the two giants, especially with the high expectations of FromSoftware fans.
