As previously reported, Square Enix had expressed major interest in Tomb Raider publisher Eidos Interactive. An agreement came to fruition in February, and a month later shareholders of Eidos overwhelmingly approved the takeover. As of April 23, the London Stock Exchange cancels trading of Eidos shares.

This move takes all intellectual properties owned by Eidos, such as Tomb Raider and Hitman, into Square Enix's franchise portfolio. It also builds on the presence of the Japanese company in the western gaming market.
