In an interview with the official PlayStation Podcast (Episode 427 – The Wonderlands Between), PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan said that their latest acquisition of Haven Studios is far from the end of the spree.
“The critical success and the commercial success of the first-party games that we’ve been making has given us permission to invest heavily into content creation,” said Ryan
“We’re growing our studios organically and we’re growing through acquisition. We acquired five studios during the course of 2021, and we have more plans.”
Such a statement from the CEO of PlayStation has unsurprisingly sparked speculations among fans, and on a Kinda Funny Games podcast, host Greg Miller and GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb believe that there is a big new acquisition on the way.
This year, the company has the funds to acquire studios the size of CAPCOM (market cap of $5.273 billion), Square Enix (market cap of $5.553 billion), SEGA (market cap of $4.027 billion), and KONAMI (market cap of $8.459 billion).
Whichever publisher it turns out to be, we’re likely to learn of the upcoming deal in the coming months.
