Possible, because Olympus is now partly controlled by Sony (which may yet swallow it, as it has so many others), and Sony is using its huge resources to go head-to-head with Canon and also arch-rival Panasonic, the other big Japanese conglomerates with substantial sensor-manufacturing capacity. Also possible because Sony may seek to exploit the Olympus brand and its user base for yet another novel format/type foray, as it has a notorious record of doing in audio as well as imaging.

Very interesting article here in Wikipedia; here is just one sentence:

"The company [Olympus] is owned 17% by two large camera makers, Sony and Mitsubishi (makers of Nikon)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_Corporation

Mitsubishi are not 'makers of Nikon'. Nikon is a member of the Mitsubishi kieretsu, a kieretsu is a loose business grouping, not like a western combine.
