Kadokawa to acquire From Software

[briareos_kerensky]

Reported by Siliconera, through Gamebiz and Famitsu.

The acquisition will be finalised around the end of May, when Kadokawa will own 80% of From's shares. I'm looking forward to see a Demon's/Dark Souls - Kantai Collection mashup.

I wish FromSoftware would make sequels to O.TO.GI II and Ninja Blade and hope this buyout works out for the corp

From Software made Ninja Blade? I regret not buying that when I was completing ?5 360 games now.

Nice get for Kadokawa though.

You can get it on PC for pennies dude.

And on ebay for less than a fiver.

Hidetaka Miyazaki is now managing director of From.

Not sure if this means he'll be so hands on with the games any more.

^ He needs to keep hands-on, in my view, as the deputy he got to do Dark Souls 2 was not really up to the task.
