PlayStation would acquire an ‘extremely popular’ franchise from Konami, per a rumor

PlayStation would acquire one of the largest franchises ever released by Konami. The rumors reveal a secret conversation between the companies in the deal and suggest more news for the next few weeks.

The news was shared by the user Video Game Leaks in a series of tweets. As written by the account owner, an “extremely popular” Konami franchise has been secretly acquired by Sony, expected to be announced shortly. “PlayStation privately acquired the rights to a hugely popular IP from Konami, which is rumored to be the game I mentioned in my previous leak. More information next week“.

Unfortunately, due to copyright issues faced by the user, the post with the name of the game was removed from the social network. However, recent rumors are that the game is “70% complete” and will launch between the end of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.
