In 2022, we saw a lot of major acquisitions in the game industry, and just yesterday, Swedish game holding group Epicracer announced that it will acquire most of SQUARE ENIX's businesses except japan, and it will buy Crystal Power, Eidos Montreal and SE Montreal studios for $300 million.
And today, well-known industry insider Jeff Grubb exposed the fierce material, he hinted that SQUARE ENIX may also be acquired in the future!
Jeff Grubb's tweet sparked curiosity, with one commenter questioning: "If SE were planning to sell itself, would he sell some of its assets first?" Jeff Grubb responded wittily with a meme: Maybe I'm talking too much...
The acquisition of a subsidiary of SQUARE ENIX could increase the likelihood that the company will be acquired by Sony. Still, Microsoft may also struggle to acquire it.
At present, SE has not officially indicated the possibility of being acquired, so we are also skeptical about this. SQUARE ENIX is good at fantasy games, with a large number of popular IPs, such as the "Final Fantasy" series, the "Tomb Raider" series, the "Breaking Bad" series, etc., and in recent years, such as "Neil" and "Strange Life" are also highly praised.
