A PlayStation executive has shot down Sony FromSoftware acquisition speculations<\/strong> that stemmed from an innocent tweet that she published over the weekend. Director and global head of third-party portfolio, Shawne Benson, posted a photo of herself posing with an Elden Ring statue at work that quickly escalated into fans assuming that she was teasing a FromSoftware acquisition. It also spurred a frantic ResetEra thread that was promptly deleted, with Benson having to calm her followers down.<\/p>\n Although rumored for a while, claims that Sony is eyeing FromSoftware have largely come from social media and Reddit wish lists. No known insiders or reliable leakers have ever heard rumblings about the companies joining forces. The closest we\u2019ve heard is Sony entering into a capital alliance with Kadokawa, which happens to be FromSoftware\u2019s parent company. But that\u2019s all it is \u2013 a capital alliance between two Japanese companies.<\/p>\n Just showing my new work bestie around campus. pic.twitter.com\/rv03rij3ae<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Shawne Benson (@shawnethegirl) April 22, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n To put this to bed\u2026I\u2019m just a huge fan of the game. It was my first day back in the office and I saw the statue near my coworker\u2019s desk. Nothing more! As a reminder, my remit is on third party CONTENT acquisitions. Not studios. That\u2019s a totally different team!<\/p>\nThere\u2019s no truth to rumors of Sony FromSoftware acquisition<\/h2>\n
