“#
\n PlatinumGame<\/a>s open to acquisition talks \u2018as long as freedom is respected\u2019 <\/strong>”<\/p>\n

PlatinumGames would be open to acquisition offers by another company as long as it gets to maintain its freedom, company CEO Atsushi Inaba has said. <\/p>\n

Discussing the recent proposal by Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard, VGC<\/a> asked Inaba if PlatinumGames would consider any acquisition offers.<\/p>\n

Inaba responded, \u201cThe most important thing for us is to have the freedom to make the games that we want to make. What I hear about the recent acquisitions, I don\u2019t think Microsoft is going to start micromanaging Activision to where they take away all their freedom\u2026 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be a relationship like that.<\/p>\n


\n \u201cI think there\u2019s going to be a lot of mutual respect there and I think Activision will be able to continue doing what they do best. That\u2019s also what\u2019s most important to us at the end of the day, whatever form that takes for us and our company. So I would not turn anything down, as long as our freedom was still respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inaba also said he it is \u201cweird\u201d that there are not as much mergers and acquisitions in Japan as there are in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree, you don\u2019t see that a lot [of acquisitions] in Japan and personally, I think it\u2019s weird,\u201d Inaba said. \u201cFor some of these big companies with all their money you sometimes think, \u2018come on! Buy some companies up already!\u2019 It does feel strange to see Japanese companies being passive all of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next title from PlatinumGames, the self-published shoot \u2019em up Sol Cresta<\/em>, is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam<\/a> on February 22. After that, the cooperative action RPG Babylon\u2019s Fall<\/em>, published by Square Enix, is due out for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam<\/a> on March 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
