We had 2 giant electronic manufacturers Microsoft and Sony announced studio acquisitions and barely a month has passed into this new year.
Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for 68 Billion on January 19th, 2022
Sony bought Bungie today on January 31st, 2022 for 3.6 Billion
Ok at this point let's take a guess the rest of the 2022 acquisitions for next 11 months.
February 25th Microsoft will announce purchase of From Software on the release day of Elden Ring (remember all the marketing for all the Souls games have also been with Microsoft including Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III, Sekiro and Elden Ring) Bloodborne and Demon's Souls no, because Sony owns the actual IPs.
Sony will announce purchase of Capcom on August 12th (Street Fighter was originally released in 1987 on August 12th) This year marks it's 35th anniversary and Capcom confirmed the next Street Fighter project reveal later this year for the 35th anniversary. They will announce the game along with the purchase of the company, just my guess.
On April 1st, Microsoft will announce purchase of Valve and announce Half Life 3, but it will just be a April's fools joke. Half Life 3 apparently is more of a unicorn than the combination of Activation Blizzard being purchased by anyone let alone Microsoft, Final Fantasy 7 Remake being real, Shenmue 3 being real ever were at this point.
Sega will finally announce its being purchased by Microsoft one of these Wednesdays throughout the rest of the year. Probably when Sonic releases this Holiday and it will be a Wednesday to follow along the meme would make most sense.
Give me your HOT TAKES.
