Enix buys Square
» Dragon Fantasy Hearts Monsters XIII jumps to top of most-wanted lists across Japan.
News | Monday, November 25, 2002 | Ed McGlothlin [Managing Editor]
The two biggest names in RPGs will be under one roof as of April 1, 2003. Multiple reports from Japan indicate that Square and Enix will merge next year to form one company, Square Enix Inc., with Enix having "absorbed" Square. If the date makes you skeptical, the merger is scheduled for April 1 to take effect at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Details remain unclear at this time, including the structure of the combined company and how Sony's minority stake in Square would affect the new partnership. Square stockholders will receive .81 shares for every current share they own, while Enix holders will get a 1-for-1 trade.
The new company has released early profit projections, but not much else. More details to follow.
