As a press release stated this morning, Eidos will remain as an independent operation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Square Enix Holdings Co., following the completion of the acquisition last week.
Phil Rogers will continue on as CEO of Eidos, reporting directly to Yoichi Wada, President and CEO of Square Enix Holdings Co. and Eidos will continue to focus on leveraging the company’s franchises and develop games. ‘Eidos’ will also continue to be the brand identity for the business.
“This is a watershed moment for Eidos. We have the backing of an incredible company which believes in our strategy and our people. In the Square Enix group, we have a parent company, which I have held in high respect for many years, with their meticulous level of perfection and unyielding directive to never compromise on quality. We have an incredible opportunity to truly deliver on our creative vision, this is a new chapter for Eidos.” – Phil Rogers, CEO, Eidos
Great news for fans of Eidos mainstays such as Tomb Raider and Hitman. We should continue to see these franchises grow through the grace of Square Enix. Anyone else happy to hear that Eidos will continue on?
