Sony Online Entertainment Acquired By Columbus Nova, Now Making Games For Xbox
Dear Players, Partners and Friends,
Today, we are pleased to announce that we have been acquired by Columbus Nova, an investment management firm well known for its success with its existing portfolio of technology, media and entertainment focused companies. This means that effective immediately SOE will operate as an independent game development studio where we will continue to focus on creating exceptional online games for players around the world, and now as a multi-platform gaming company. Yes, that means PlayStation and Xbox, mobile and more!
As part of this transition, SOE will now become Daybreak Game Company. This name embodies who we are as an organization, and is a nod to the passion and dedication of our employees and players. It is also representative of our vision to approach each new day as an opportunity to move gaming forward.
So what exactly does this mean for you? It will be business as usual and all SOE games will continue on their current path of development and operation. In fact, we expect to have even more resources available to us as a result of this acquisition. It also means new exciting developments for our existing IP and games as we can now fully embrace the multi-platform world we are living in.
Our games and players are the heart and soul of our organization, and we are committed to maintaining our portfolio of online games and pushing the limits of where we can take online gaming together.
Thank you for your continued support. See you in game!

Oh Snap.

Now all they have to do is sell PSN to a company that can handle server stability and supply network protection.
Even tho the company name was Sony Entertainment Online, they mostly developed for PC. They only games they had coming (or already available) for PS4 are DC Universe, Planetside 2 and H1Z1, which are all Free-to-play titles.
Blazini, now you don't have to play PS2 on PS4 lol. You just have to wait until they release it for XBO, but considering how long that ? is taking to come out on PS4, it'll probably release in 2016 and that's only if they start working on it now. -
aint that the team that did ? like Everquest?
-
They never made anything I was interested in but this might mean something about Sony's current financial state.
-
Sony broke as ? .
Id take a DC Universe online 2 for Xbox -
*dead* -
I hope h1z1 still come out for ps4.
-
Hope this doesnt slow down or change anything with Everquest Next
