SIE now co-owns the Sword of the Sea IP,

https://www.gematsu.com/2025/10/sony-interactive-entertainment-and-giant-squid-trademark-sword-of-the-sea-in-europe

It gets in the (my) list of PS games released this year lol.

Not sure what to make of this. I suppose keep it exclusive to PS5 alongside it's PC version.

I'm guessing because they funded the second half of development basically saving the game and the studio they get to keep the IP (or half of it). 

What I liked about the news was the interest for not only investing but keeping a small game, that's basically how Helldivers came to be and how they formed a relationship with Housemarque over the years. That's something this generation lacked, Sony investing and keeping small games and I like the idea of that practice coming back. A potencial billion dollar business in Helldivers maybe was the incentive they needed to go back lol. 

There's also the chance they acquired Giant Squid but I don't think that's the case, I would be shocked.
