It looks like reports of Sony Interactive Entertainment acquiring new developer Ballistic Moon were true. Following a blooper by none other than PlayStation itself, fans have found an entry for the studio on a financial data and software company’s website, which lists Sony as its parent company.

As spotted by Sacred Symbols podcast host Colin Moriarty, a financial services firm called PitchBook tracks data such as company financing and funding, acquisition status, and more. Over on its website is an entry for Ballistic Moon, which states that the studio was founded in 2019 and its current status is “acquired/merged (operating subsidiary).” Its parent company?
