Tencent Increases Stake in FromSoftware Parent Kadokawa to 7.97%

The move narrows the gap with Sony, Kadokawa's largest shareholder, and strengthens Tencent's presence in the gaming industry.

Tencent raised its stake in Kadokawa, FromSoftware's parent company, by 1.11%, bringing its total ownership to 7.97%.
Sony remains Kadokawa's largest shareholder with a 10% stake, following a major investment in late 2024.
Kadokawa, a Japanese media company, owns FromSoftware, the developer behind hit titles like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series.
Tencent's increased stake is part of a broader capital and business alliance between the two companies.
The investment reflects Tencent's ongoing strategy of expanding its influence in the global gaming industry, where it already holds stakes in companies like Riot Games, Epic Games, and Ubisoft.
