Thus, among other things, the Destiny-2 developer Buniger and Jade Raymonds Studio Haven Entertainment has been purchased this year. In recent weeks, the rumor spread that Kojima Productions could be the next goal. This possibility has now clearly excluded founder and namesake Hideo Kojima.

In recent weeks, there were always speculation, which Studio Sony could buy next. A banner on the website of the PlayStation Studios, that Death Stranding showed besides other first-party titles of the Publisher, the rumor arose that Kojima Productions could be the next goal.
Shortly thereafter, Hideo Kojima also released the same picture on Twitter, but without further comment. Only several hours later the Japanese studio owner said. _ "I apologize for the misunderstanding, because Kojima Productions was and will continue to remain an independent studio" _, he writes via Twitter. While this purchase will not take place first, Sony has invested this week only a billion US dollars in Epic Games.
