Sony Lifts Outlook on Entertainment Demand Despite Tariff Threat

Sony Group Corp. raised its earnings forecast on Thursday after a strong showing from its entertainment divisions that outweighed the threat of new US tariffs on chips. The Tokyo company now expects operating profit for the year ending March to be ¥1.33 trillion ($9 billion), versus the average of analyst estimates of ¥1.39 trillion. Back in May, in the midst of uncertainty around Washington's new import tax regime, Sony had warned its profit would take a ¥100 billion hit and set its forecast at ¥1.28 trillion. It said it now sees a tariff impact of around ¥70 billion on its operating income.

NEON Picks Up Movie Based on Surreal Japanese Horror Game

NEON Picks Up Movie Based on Surreal Japanese Horror Game originally appeared on GameDaily. The Exit 8 might not be a game that's widely known to gaming fans, but it is beloved by gamers who have played it. It's from Japanese development Kotake Create and is essentially a walking simulator about being trapped in an underground passageway and trying to figure out how to escape by observing your surroundings. The game is very surreal and features elements of horror. This led to Genki Kawamura directing a feature film version of the game. The film is set to release in Japan on August 29. Luckily, American fans will eventually get a chance to see the film. NEON, the studio behind Parasite and Longlegs, has acquired the North American distribution rights for Exit 8. There isn't a set release date for the film in North America, but it is said to be coming out early next year. NEON has a fantastic track record when it comes to horror movies, so Exit 8 might be one of the better video game adaptations to come out. Exit 8 may not have been one of the games that translated well to film, but the fact that NEON is involved bodes well for the movie's quality. Here's hoping it can be better than the disappointing Until Dawn movie we got this year. This story was originally reported by GameDaily on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
