Can you imagine Lara Craft wielding a gunblade? Looks like the future of Lara Croft is in the hands of Final Fantasy studio, Square Enix. The latest news is that Eidos Interactive, the company that owns the Tomb Raider franchise, will be bought by Squeenix for GBP 84.3 million (a whopping US$ 120.8 million). This is good news for Eidos, who's been having rough patches for some time now and has been looking to merge with other studios since last year, when they were still called SCi Entertainment. Squeenix's investors aren't jumping for joy though. When this news hit, Eidos' shares in the market jumped, Squeenix's shares dropped. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Squeenix plans to do with some of Eidos' franchises, like Hitman, Kane & Lynch, Legacy of Kain, and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Clearly not their style when it comes to games. Discuss: QJ.NET General Gaming Discussion Related Articles:

» LOL Squeenix
I've never heard that one before. XD Then again I've never played any of the FFs and don't pay attention to companies much.

I have more respect for EA as it stands. Square is all over the place trying to buy up crap - ugh, they use to be known as quality RPG .... but I can see stuff turning for the worse now that they're out to grab all kinds of stuff.

» I dunno...
Probably from their insanely successful Final Fantasy series, MMO, and 50034023240x other games for Wii, Xbox, DS, etc etc etc.
But yeah, kinda weird they havent squeezed out a PS3 game yet, but many coming out that look great!

» So now what?
I really couldn't care less about the Tomb Raider or FF games. I was never fond of either of them.
I want to know what's going to happen with Deus Ex 3. Is it still going to be produced? Will it still be out by 2010?
The first Deus Ex was incredible and ahead of its time. The second one was a bit of a let-down, but Project:Snowblind was incredible.
I was hoping they could bring back the intensity of the series with the 3rd one on the latest consoles... I hope this stupid merger won't hamper production.

» worries and hopes
i bet some crazy minds at S-E are already plotting how to put TR, FF, KH and other franchise together into one game.
on the other hand, i'm worried that there is less and less place for smaller gaming companies. studios go down, or get bought out by the bigger ones.
it's killing the competition. and that is pretty bad for the customer.
