Court Sanctions Square’s Eidos Takeover
April 21st, 2009
A court has approved Japanese publisher Square Enix’s takeover of British publisher Eidos, which is expected to become effective tomorrow morning.
The move will bring the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and Hitman franchises under the same roof as the likes of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, and give the Japanese publisher a stronger foothold in the western market.
