Sony Group Corporation is in talks to acquire fellow Japanese conglomerate Kadokawa, according to media reports that emerged this week. The firm's animation and games properties may underlie the possible M&A activity.

In a pretty astonishing piece of news, it seems that Sony is in talks to buy Kadokawa. According to Reuters, Sony is thinking of buying Kadokawa, which would have massive ramifications for both games and anime.

Sony explores acquiring Kadokawa to boost its content empire, particularly in anime and gaming with Elden Ring's developer, FromSoftware, at the center.
