Square Enix likely to buy out Eidos

March 04, 2009 in Industry News comments 17

Square Enix has been looking to buy out Eidos for some time now, and it looks as though this will come to fruition thanks to an agreement of terms on the part of both companies announced today.

The deal is expected to be approved by Eidos' shareholders at a meeting planned for late this month.

Following this, trading of Eidos shares will be suspended on April 21st and the cancelling of its share listings is due to occur the following day.

A settlement is hoped to be in place by May 6th.

      I don't think they will make anything like that.

      I think everything will remain the same really.

    Welcome Tomb Raider and Hitman Fans to the wonderful world of Squarenix. Your game will surely always be delayed and you will be continually let down 9 time outta ten.

    Seriously, people are idiots.

    Square won't be changing anything, or adding there logo anywhere, they'll just be getting money now from the games they can get from their Eidos branch.

      I see what j00 did there.
      Well as long as we dont see Lara Croft popping some Pheonix Downs in the Jungles then Im all happy.

      And Male characters stay as males...
      And games are released within the decade of announcement...
