You've gotta stop giving credence to no-name attention seekers on Twitter y'all. If you give them the spotlight they crave, they're just going to multiply like those broomsticks in Fantasia, and we'll end up with more and more lies spread around the internets.
Having said that, I've been hearing things about Level 5. Could be nothing, could be everything. Watch this space.

I do think it is fairly obvious Sony has another buy under their belt though. Of course they weren't just going to stop with Insomniac.
Or people can be patient and stop following every single bread crumb lol
Santa Monica Studio is posting some stunning artwork from God of War on Twitter:
If they made a purchase I just hope they don't hold the announcement for the purpose of popping the fanboys at a press conference because I still think thats pretty lame.
Most of them said soon so in a month. They had a very small gap there. So a few of them really have info and others are on the bandwagon or the original source was a fake and all of them make false prediction and will be trashed.Fake insiders are like fortune tellers. They will say something vague that is very likely to come true. If it turns out right then they take credit, if they were wrong then it was vague enough to spin. If even. Fake insiders are often just plain wrong too.
They just randomly announced Insom on a random morning. They know they don't need a conference to announce a thing like that.
Just today I saw three videos of people saying that current Sony doesn't care about their fans and is looking a lot like that Sony of the early PS3 era (because they won't be at E3). 🤔
I am curious to see if this is the general consensus or not.

I told you I was kidding!
There are no rumors about Sony acquisitions. There is no original source. No more than me telling you that they will announce one soon. It's wishful thinking and lies from random Twitter users not known for reliable information. It's not unthinkable that there will be acquisitions though.Most of them said soon so in a month.

Yea cant stand them damn bozos...I told you I was kidding!
Anyways, its hard to tell with all the bozos infecting the internet these days.
Mood
Where did the rumors that Sony was considering acquiring Remedy originate from?
Also, I could totally see it being Kojima Productions.
Yea cant stand them damn bozos...
Anyways i've heard some things keep your EARS to the ground and watch this space

Checks out, none of these developers make JRPG's 🤣Shawn Layden and Jim Ryan have both expressed, on multiple occasions during interviews, that a key factor underlying the consideration of a studio acquisition is how well they determine that the studio will fit into WWS "culture". This is why, as many here have previously pointed out, Sony has historically never acquired a studio with no prior collaboration. This makes a discussion of possible acquisitions easier to have, of course. In my mind, Remedy isn't even on the table until they produce at least one successful game together. Thus we have:
Supermassive - I have no freaking idea what the heck is going on with this team. They have noted that they are working on further PS exclusives, but the quality really hasn't been consistent or as high as Until Dawn. Where did that awesome talent go? With QD leaving the WWS family, Sony is missing that AAA, unique adventure game genre they used to do wonderful work in. I don't know any other studio, other than Supermassive, that could fill this void (things didn't work out with DontNod, unfortunately), but I suspect Sony won't acquire this team anytime soon until they really prove themselves again.
Ready at Dawn - This is clearly a talented team. Unfortunately, I suspect that The Order damaged their relationship with Sony. It's unclear to me where they stand now, but given how The Order went, I really wouldn't bet on an acquisition here -- at least not anytime soon.
Bluepoint - Clearly very talented and there is enough history for an acquisition to seem plausible. I do wonder if BP and Sony would want to continue doing remakes, and if this direction would be a point of contention, but confirming BP's game as the first PS5 game demonstrates how close they are. I'd say this one is very possible.
Kojima Productions - Talented and unique, but the value of this acquisition is under question when the appeal of the studio is tied to a single (or a few) individuals. Moreover, with Kojima wanting to make movies, if he'd even be interested. He has a sweet deal right now, and the risk seems quite high for Sony.
Thatgamecompany - The relationship would be appear to be severed.
Arrowhead - Clearly talented and I suspect that their current AAA game in development may be with Sony. This may be a testing bed to determine if an acquisition is of interest -- they've only worked on one game together, after all.
Housemarque - Along with Bluepoint, this is the obvious one. They have a really long working history, and though not all games were successful, a few entirely broke through. This is a very talented team with one of the longest histories in the game industry itself, and though we don't have confirmation, there is a high probability that their current AAA game in development is with Sony. Given their long history, and that the price of an acquisition could seriously skyrocket after a successful AAA game, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect an acquisition sooner rather than later.
As far as I can tell, that's the list. I left out VR developers because the list would be really big otherwise, though I suspect Sony may continue contracting independent developers on this front since the future of VR is still in question. I also left out Illfonic and the developers from Sony's China Hero Project since we will need to see how those go.
Supermassive would instantly be the only C tier studio on the list.
