In recent years, two of the largest companies in the industry have dedicated themselves to buying video game developers, on the one hand we have microsoft and on the other, to PlayStation. From the latter, some rumors have arisen related to the possible acquisition of squareenix, information that has already been confirmed by an insider from the company itself Sony.
According to the journalist Greg Millersome time ago he heard rumors that PS I was trying to buy Square Enix. So much Miller as the industry insider, Jeff Grubbthe brand was preparing a large purchase a few weeks ago, but they could not share details.
Grubb had stated that he had also heard the rumor, but it seemed to echo the thoughts of Miller about the lack of clarity in the details. That could indicate that the big Japanese names were in talks to make a deal, which in the end could not be finalized for reasons that no one knows how to explain so far.
To that we could add that Square Enix sold several major franchises to Embracer Group, which in a modest way already has great developers under its thumb. And now, he happens to be the rightful owner of sagas like Soul ReaverHitman and the most important of all, tomb Raiderwhich is already preparing its next installment.
The world of video games now has more questions than answers with so many rumors, but what is certain is that Square Enix cannot let go of brands as important as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts Y Dragon Quest. All three are in full swing, so selling them right now wouldn’t make much of a profit.
For now, all this purchase or attempted purchase remains a rumor.
