Aniplex, a subsidiary of Sony, recently purchased the gaming division of Delight Works, the team responsible for the popular mobile game, Fate/Grand Order. Delight Works will be turned into separate company, which will then become a wholly owned subsidiary of Aniplex. The financial terms of the deal have yet to be released to the public.
Fate/Grand Order is a free-to-play game released in Japan back in 2015, and in North America in 2017. Over the last six years, the game has become one of the highest-grossing mobile titles in the world, bringing in billions each year. The game has also inspired spin-offs (including one for PlayStation VR), an anime, a manga, and even stage plays.
Since Aniplex has been publisher of the game since the beginning, Fate/Grand Order fans can rest easy; the shift in ownership is unlikely to result in any major changes to the game itself. However, it will be interesting to see whether this leads to PlayStation becoming more invested in the overall mobile gaming market.
