The announcement of FromSoftware's exclusive The Duskbloods game led to a surge in Kadokawa Corporation's share price

During the Nintendo Direct presentation that took place on 2 April, Japanese studio FromSoftware - the creator of such famous games as Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Armored Core and Elden Ring - unexpectedly announced The Duskbloods multiplayer game, which will be an exclusive for Switch 2.

This news delighted not only gamers, but also stock market participants.

Here's What We Know

The day after the announcement of The Duskbloods, the shares of Kadokawa Corporation, which owns FromSoftware, soared in value on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. At the close of trading, their value rose 5.37 per cent to more than 3,800 yen ($26).

Analysts are confident in further growth in the value of Kadokawa securities and recommend investors to take a closer look at them.

And we remind you that another FromSoftware game - Elden Ring Nightreign, which is also being developed with the expectation of cooperative gameplay, will be released on the 30th of May.

We can not fail to mention that Sony has expressed interest in acquiring the assets of Kadokawa and first of all the Japanese, of course, want to take possession of FromSoftware, as this studio produces incredibly high-quality and, most importantly, popular games that bring huge profits.
