Naturally, Sony, Xbox’s primary rival, has been concentrating on acquisitions for the long-term success of PlayStation. Sony recently closed its own buyout of Bungie and, now, interesting information from a recent interview suggests that Sony may be targeting Square Enix. This information was obtained from a Gamesindustry.biz interview. Founder of Eidos-Montréal Stephane D’Astous was recently featured in an interview on the website. The company has contributed to several well-known games, including Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and a series of Deux Ex. The developer discussed several specifics about his experience at the firm and commented on the interest of Sony in the acquisition: Additionally, Square Enix and Sony have an extremely strong partnership. Recently released titles like Final Fantasy 7 Remake are currently PlayStation-only. Square Enix has previously released timed-exclusive PlayStation console games like Nier Automata. The eagerly awaited Final Fantasy 16 is also a limited-time PlayStation 5 exclusive. Eidos’ statement is consistent with previous speculations about Sony’s plans, although it’s unclear how much insider knowledge is involved or whether he believes Sony is still interested.
