PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has said fans "should expect more" following the announcement of its Bungie acquisition yesterday.

According to GI.biz's Chris Dring, Jim Ryan has hinted at the fact this is not the only acquisition PlayStation has planned for the future. Dring also says that the PlayStation Bungie deal has been in the works for the past five to six months, and therefore is not a reaction to the Take-Two/Zynga or Microsoft/Activision deals that have also been seen recently. 

Instead, Dring says: "The motivation behind Sony’s acquisition of Bungie is to help boost its own abilities to make live-service, multiplatform games." Dring also points out that "equally, Sony unlocks the potential for Bungie to strengthen its technical capabilities and the prospect of taking its games to movies/TV."

The motivation behind Sony's acquisition of Bungie is to help boost their own abilities to make live-service, multiplatform games. equally, Sony unlocks the potential to Bungie to strengthen its technical capabilities and the prospect of taking its games to movies/TVJanuary 31, 2022

And Jim Ryan told me 'We should expect more' when it comes to further PlayStation acquisitionsJanuary 31, 2022

To add even more to the acquisition speculation, Jeff Grubb recently said on a podcast episode that an "even bigger" acquisition is on the horizon when discussing the PlayStation Bungie deal - however, doesn’t specify if this is for Microsoft, PlayStation, or another gaming company. Grubb then appears to drop the hint "it takes two to tango" before clearing up that it has nothing to do with Take-Two or Hazelight who developed the co-op game It Takes Two. 

It’s possible that Grubb could be teasing some news about Capcom being acquired by one of the companies due to the "it takes two to tango" hint. As pointed out by @Shpeshal_Nick on Twitter, Resident Evil 5 has an achievement in it called "It Takes Two to Tango," but this is the only connection that has been made at this time.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
