Kadokawa, an anime and manga giant that owns the world-renowned From Software, is being eyed for acquisition by Sony. Today we dive deep into this potential acquisition and its implications for the fate of future From Software games. We also talk about the new PlayStation handheld in the works and the leaks for the new Steam controllers. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Sonic X Shadow Generations, Factorio: Space Age). This episode was recorded in November 2024.
