PlayStation spokesperson denies hinting at FromSoftware acquisition

A PlayStation executive has denied rumors of Sony acquiring FromSoftware, which stemmed from an innocent tweet she posted over the weekend.
Shaunie Benson posted a photo of her posing with an Elden Ring statue at work, which quickly led fans to speculate that she was hinting at an FromSoftware acquisition.
This also sparked a furious stream of posts on ResetEra, which was quickly deleted and Benson had to reassure her subscribers.Although rumors have been around for a while, claims that Sony was eyeing FromSoftware came mostly from social media and wishlists on Reddit.
No known insider or reliable leaker has ever heard rumors of the companies joining forces.
The closest we've heard is that Sony intends to form an alliance with Kadokawa, the parent company of FromSoftware.
But this is only a possible alliance between the two Japanese companies, not a full-fledged acquisition.To end it...I'm just a big fan of the game.
It was my first day in the office, and I saw a statue near my colleague's desk.
Nothing more! As a reminder, it is my responsibility to acquire content developed by third parties.
Not the studios.
It's a different team altogether!While Benson did her best to put an end to the discussion, a quick glance at her answers suggests that some loyal fans are still convinced that something is going on between Sony and FromSoftware.
This is not helped by the fact that Sony has confirmed that we will be hearing more about acquisitions this year, and journalists have reported \"big\" plans.
