Japanese developer and publisher Square Enix have acquired the UK company, Eidos for £84.3 million. Although franchises such as Tomb Raider and Hitman now belong to Square Enix, the Eidos logo will still be used when distributing them. Eidos has been allowed to remain independent and work on their own games.

Square Enix also released their sales figures for long-running games series, such as Final Fantasy, which has sold over 85 million units and Dragon Quest, which has shifted 47 million units. In comparison Tomb Raider has sold 30 million and Hitman only 8 million units. Other games of note from Eidos are Deus Ex and Just Cause.
