Japanese game developer and publisher Acquire, which is arguably best known for co-developing Square Enix’s 2D-HD role-playing games Octopath Traveler and its sequel, Octopath Traveler 2, has been acquired as a “wholly owned subsidiary” by Kadokawa Corporation.
Kadokawa is an enormous Japanese media conglomerate that owns numerous subsidiaries, including media and telecommunications company Dwango (which in itself owns Spike Chunsoft), and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware. The conglomerate announced its acquisition of Acquire in its latest earnings results, which were published today (February 8).
