The official website for PlayStation Studios has slightly modified its top banner to include Death Stranding, which was developed by Kojima Product💧ions and therefore isn't technically a PlayStation Studios game.

The obvious implication is that this could be a sign that Sony is about to buy Kojima Productions, but there's just enough reason to be skeptical of that assumption. For one, Sony published Death Stra꧑nding and therefore owns the rights to the IP even thoug🎃h Kojima Productions is still an independent studio.

with Ratchet & Clank before Insomniac was purchased by Sony - so it wouldn't be without precedent for Play൩Station to si🌠mply include Death Stranding in its showing of first-party titles.

That said, the rest of the games in the banner are from bonafide first-party studios, making Death Stranding the odd man out here. Plus, you'll all remember something eerily similar to this happening just before Sony purchased Demon's Souls remake developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bluepoint Games. Adding to that, it's a little conspicuous that PlayStation Studios is just now adding Death S🔯tranding to its banner when the game's been out since 2019 - even the director's cut is several months old by now.

Now, you'll have to forgive me for my tinfoil hat, but it's worth noting that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kojima💃 himself moved studios earlier this month, which led to plenty of specul💃ation from fans about a potential Sony project. In truth, the move is likely due to completely unrelated reasons, but it's an interesting coincidence at the very least.
