Sony has invested 50 billion yen ($317 million) to raise its stake in Kadokawa, FromSoftware's parent company, to 10%, becoming the largest shareholder. The two companies have formed a strategic alliance to collaborate on various initiatives, including adapting Kadokawa's intellectual property into live-action films and TV dramas, co-producing anime, expanding global distribution of Kadokawa's anime, and developing virtual production. While this investment increases Sony's influence over FromSoftware's future, it's unclear how it will affect the publishing of FromSoftware's games and their platform exclusivity.
