Square Enix

Square Enix has officially taken over Eidos and made it Square Enix Europe. Phil Rogers will now be the head of the European branch.

“Square Enix and Eidos Interactive are pleased to announce plans to create a new organisation to drive forward their European business,” an Eidos spokesperson told MCV.

“Square Enix Europe (final name TBC) will include Eidos’ global network of studios and combine the Square Enix and Eidos European sales and marketing businesses to create one efficient and powerful structure for game publishing.”

“In North America the current Square Enix organisation will continue to serve this market. All marketing, sales and distribution functions will be transferred from Eidos Inc to Square Enix in this territory.”

The move might cause some of the current staff their job. The spokesperson added:

“Unfortunately we are expecting some jobs to be impacted directly by this in both Europe and North America. We are hoping to minimise this wherever possible and offer support and advice to any employees directly affected.”
