PCGamesN Wednesday, August 31, 2022 5:34 AM  Sony and Tencent are set to increase their investment in Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, also makers of some of the best RPG games including the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Armored Core among others. The deal was announced by FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, with both companies previously having previous minor investments in the developer. The deal was announced in a press release published by Kadokawa Corporation president Takeshi Tasuno (via Gematsu). Sony Interactive Entertainment is expected to increase its previously minor investment in FromSoftware to a total of 14.09% of the developer's total shares, while Tencent Holdings is to increase its investment to 16.25% of FromSoftware's shares through its subsidiary group Sixjoy Hong Kong Limited. Sony's further investment has already sparked plenty of rumours online about the possibility of additional collaboration projects with FromSoftware. While the Elden Ring and Dark Souls IP rights are owned by their publisher Bandai Namco, Sony has previously published both Demon's Souls and Bloodborne from the Japanese development studio - meaning that many fans are now speculating about the possibility of a Bloodborne sequel or a new original game in partnership with Sony following this deal. The copyright for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, while published by Activision, actually sits with FromSoftware themselves.

Kadokawa has announced that Sony Interactive Entertainment and Tencent subsidiary Sixjoy Hong Kong Limited have bought a minority stake in developer FromSoftware. The purchased stock amounts to approximately ¥36 billion (about $260 million), making up 30.34% of the company's stock. [Thanks, PR Times!] The purchase was finalized on August 31, 2022, after a meeting of executives at FromSoftware. Specifically, both companies are spending a combined ¥36,399,550,000. After the purchase, Sixjoy will own 16.25% of the company while Sony will own 14.09%. FromSoftware's parent company Kadokawa will continue to remain the majority stakeholder, holding 69.66% of the developer's shares. Founded in 1986, FromSoftware has created numerous award-winning titles across several generations. Notably, the company has had a close relationship with Sony since the release of the PlayStation 3 exclusive Demon's Souls in 2009. Since then, the company has created several popular franchises including Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and, most recently, Elden Ring. Furthermore, Tencent and its Japanese subsidiary Tencent Japan have also had an ongoing relationship with Kadokawa. Back in October 2021, Tencent announced that it would invest $264 million in the Japanese publisher. The two companies are working jointly to promote Kadokawa's anime and games worldwide. Tencent holds large stakes in many game companies, like Epic Games, and Riot Games, and Soleil. The purchase of FromSoftware's stock will officially go through once Sony and Tencent pay the total cost on September 7, 2022.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Wednesday, August 31, 2022 5:00 AM  About three hours into Scathe, I made the decision to turn off the in-game dialogue. It wasn't over poor voice acting, however. A first-person shooter set in a hellish maze, Scathe places you as a messenger of death unleashed by a celestial "god" to track down and face his diabolical twin brother. The two beings chatter away as you face the hordes of Hell. One typically explains the game, while the other playfully taunts you. It's sometimes hard to tell which is which, since they both sounded the same to me. But after hearing the Divine Creator warning me about a turret for the seventh time, as I'm fighting said turret, I'd had enough. And this is only one example of Scathe's issues with repetition. In Scathe, you play as the eponymous Scathe. A silent warrior type set to prove his worth, Scathe is tasked with solving a maze and returning with the staff of its wicked commander, Sacrilegious. It's rather thin as far as stories go, serving ... |
