Sony would now go for Square Enix. Many rumors claimed that Sony would buy another developer recently, and insider Jeff Grubb spoke about it.
It is increasingly common for the giants of the industry to keep everything. Such was the case with Microsoft with Activision or Sony with Bungie. Precisely Sony is back on everyone’s lips thanks to the recent rumor that it could buy Square Enixpublisher of final-fantasy among other games.
Who echoed this is the journalist and insider Jeff Grubb via his Twitter account. Over there, Grubb explained that he cannot confirm anything about whether Sony will buy squareenix, albeit a “very big possibility”. In addition, the same president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jym Ryanconfirmed that they want to acquire more video game developers.
OKAY. I’ve said this a thousand times, but there’s always someone who is hearing it for the first time: We never really hear enough to report on acquisitions with any certainty. Sony acquiring Square was the big rumour. But I CANNOT confirm that. And I continue to not know. pic.twitter.com/5ZKJruszCE

Jeff Grubb comment on one of your tweet the next: “I think Square Enix is trying to better position itself for the acquisition. But that means nothing. These deals may flop or capsize altogether. that happens all the time”. These statements are due to the fact that recently Square Enix sold internal western studies (Crystal Dynamic, Eidos Montreal and Square Enix Montreal) a Embracer Group.
It is not surprising that this purchase, if it materializes, will arrive in the coming days. The same situation occurred with Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda. While there may be rumours, the magnitude of such a large purchase involving two well-known companies should always be treated with caution.
The fact that Square Enix pass into the hands of Sony, It should not imply that all the developer’s titles are exclusive to PlayStation. Although there are some agreements as in Final Fantasy 7 Remakethe truth is that the games of Square Enix they would continue on all possible platforms.
