Kadokawa Games

Tencent previously owned 6.86% of the Japanese conglomerate.

If the deal goes through in January 2025, Sony will solidify itself as the largest Kadokawa shareholder with 10 percent of the company's stocks.

A Sony representative stated that the company had expressed 'initial intent' in buying Kadokawa.

Unlike Metaphor, this one's got the juice.

FromSoftware has numerous critically acclaimed titles under its belt including Bloodborne and the recently released Elden Ring.

The Kadokawa Group has brought Acquire under its umbrella to 'strengthen the ability to create IP in games'.

It's now being called Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP and it will be coming in 2024.

Kadokawa Corporation remains the majority shareholder, but Tencent and Sony's increased stakes make up a combined 30% of ownership in FromSoftware.

It's been confirmed that neither Gunn nor Grasshopper Manufacture have any role in the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw remake.

Dragami Games is developing the Lollipop Chainsaw remake, led by producer Yoshimi Yasuda with alleged support from Warner Bros.
