索尼或将收购《艾尔登法环》和《勇者斗恶龙》母公司角川集团

据报道,索尼正在洽谈收购日本大型企业角川集团,以扩大其娱乐版图。本文将深入探讨此次潜在收购及其可能的影响。

拓展媒体版图

科技巨头索尼正与日本大型企业角川集团进行早期收购谈判,旨在“壮大其娱乐产业”。目前,索尼已持有角川2%的股份,并持有角川旗下著名工作室FromSoftware(《艾尔登法环》、《装甲核心》开发商)14.09%的股份。

收购角川集团将为索尼带来巨大益处,该集团拥有多家子公司,包括FromSoftware、Spike Chunsoft(《勇者斗恶龙》、《神奇宝贝不可思议迷宫》开发商)和Acquire(《八方旅人》、《马里奥与路易吉RPG》系列开发商)。此外,在游戏领域之外,角川集团还以其多家媒体制作公司而闻名,这些公司涉足动画制作、书籍和漫画出版等领域。

此次收购无疑将实现索尼在娱乐领域的扩张目标,使其触角延伸至其他媒体形式。正如路透社所指出的那样,“索尼集团希望通过收购获得作品和内容的权利,使其利润结构不那么依赖于热门作品。”如果一切顺利,协议可能会在2024年底签署。然而,截至撰写本文时,索尼和角川均拒绝就此事发表评论。

角川股价暴涨,但粉丝担忧

受此消息影响,角川股价创下历史新高,日涨幅达到23%,收盘价为4439日元,而路透社报道前为3032日元。索尼股价也上涨了2.86%。

然而,网民对这一消息的反应褒贬不一,许多人表达了对索尼及其近期收购的担忧,这些收购的结果并不尽如人意。最近的例子是索尼于2023年中收购的Firewalk工作室突然倒闭,其多人射击游戏《Concord》的反响不佳,导致工作室在收购仅一年后就面临了不幸的结局。即使是像《艾尔登法环》这样备受赞誉的IP,粉丝们也担心索尼的收购会影响FromSoftware及其作品。

其他人则从动漫和媒体的角度来看待此事,如果交易达成,像索尼这样的科技巨头将垄断西方动漫的传播。索尼目前拥有热门动漫流媒体网站Crunchyroll,而获得《辉夜大小姐想让我告白》、《Re:从零开始的异世界生活》和《Dungeon饭》等众多热门IP,也将进一步巩固其在动漫行业的霸主地位。
