So who owns the Elden Ring IP?

I thought From Software bought the rights to it earlier this year, but a few on Era and Install Base disagree. Is it a similar situation to Pokemon?

Not a FS expert but heard exactly the same of them buying the rights from Bandai earlier this year from a couple of people who are pretty hardcore in all the FS frenzy.

Sekiro is the other IP that actually belongs to them and that is quite funny. Sony paid and own the game that started it all and the game that many consider the best, Bandai paid and own the franchise that defined the studio and Activision only paid to publish a pretty cool game outside Japan (???).

LOL

Great!

Missed the preorder for the Dualsense and they had no stock for the actual launch day.

Already going for a small fortune here, nice pick.

That does seem to be the case.

Bamco still owns Dark Souls but if FromSoft wanted to publish another game like it they could just do Demon's Souls 2 I suppose.
