This rumor should be taken like a grain of salt or maybe a little bit bigger. Just like before E3, a couple of Twitter pages are showing a high-level of reports about Sony acquiring a new 2nd party developer. They are apparently skilled in the art of RPG development and it’ll surprise us. Level-5? NIS? Atlus? Could be anyone at this point.
According to GamesBlow: "The last word I can speak of this is - The agreement has been reached. It will not effect "current" titles in development."
On deck isGameKnows: “About Newest Sony acquisition: the company have some great RPGs. And expect something surprising...”
Take it as a rumor and nothing more at this point. If true, we’ll know more shortly. We know it won't be Square Enix or any real major players if this becomes true.
