Square Enix buys Eidos

Rumours have been running high over the last years on who could take over Eidos. After the latest disaster, the low sales of Tomb Raider Underworld in North America, it was certain that this topic would soon be back on. It became public today, that Japanese videogame publisher Square Enix, known worldwide for its franchise Final Fantasy, came to an agreement with Eidos over buying the company for the price of 84,3 million pounds, 129% of Eidos' current market value. Acquiring Eidos presents a big opportunity for the Japanese company to expand their European market.
