Behind Kadokawa’s major move lies the success of Elden Ring’s DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. This DLC’s commercial achievement provided Kadokawa with a significant revenue boost. The report states, “Revenue in our gaming segment has shown strong growth due to the domestic and international sales of Elden Ring DLC.” Following this success, Kadokawa announced plans to further expand its game development and publishing structure, focusing on both console and mobile games.
Kadokawa aims to strengthen internal publishing support for console and PC games, while also collaborating with new studios for mobile games to increase the number of titles and enhance quality. The global impact of Elden Ring suggests that Kadokawa might consider expanding to other platforms as well.
With this significant expansion, Kadokawa and its subsidiaries, including FromSoftware, have rolled up their sleeves for a multitude of new projects. What impact will Kadokawa’s move have on the gaming industry? Will the company find success with titles beyond Elden Ring? We’re looking forward to your thoughts in the comments!
