, by Thibaut
Now it's the turn of the parent company of Dark Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring to make a major purchase. Kadokawa, which already owns FromSoftware, has announced that it has acquired Acquire Corp.
The Japanese studio was founded in 1994 and today employs 148 people. Their titles include Tenchu, Way of the Samurai, Shinobido and Octopath Traveler.
Kadokawa made this acquisition "to strengthen the ability to create IP in games as part of our game business strategy, we have made Acquire Corp. into a wholly owned subsidiary".
The Japanese company also added that "By acquiring the company, which has produced million-seller hit titles, we expect to generate synergies with our existing game-related subsidiaries, strengthen our planning and development capabilities groupwide, and enhance our line-up of console games."
