Kadokawa announced this morning in a press release [PDF] that it has issued new shares of its stock in FromSoftware to Chinese giant Tencent, and Sony Interactive Entertainment.
But while FromSoftware has not been bought by any big player, major companies are quickly buying up stock in Kadokawa, the corporation that owns FromSoftware.
The press release doesn’t specifically state whether that refers to the studio’s own games, or those of other developers.
In the press release, the FromSoftware parent company said the funds will “strengthen” the studio’s capabilities to create and develop game IP.
