Sony is in talks to purchase multimedia conglomerate Kadokawa, potentially making them the majority owner of FromSoftware. Acquisition makes sense post-scandal, with appeal beyond FromSoftware due to access to Kadokawa's anime library.

Sony Group Corporation is in talks to acquire fellow Japanese conglomerate Kadokawa, according to media reports that emerged this week. The firm's animation and games properties may underlie the possible M&A activity.

Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Kadokawa, whose subsidiary FromSoftware is behind smash hit Elden Ring, the Dark Souls and Armored Core games, and PlayStation exclusive Bloodborne. Reuters reports that Sony is looking to add to its entertainment portfolio.
