Tomb Raider owner SCi in takeover talks with Ubisoft and Electronic Arts
From dailymail.co.uk:
SCi Entertainment, the owner of the Lara Croft Tomb Raider computer games franchise, is in bid talks once again.
It follows a nightmare year for the firm in which its losses have quadrupled and the share price has slumped 92 per cent.
A source familiar with matter said discussions are at an ‘early- stage’ and that SCi received approaches from two separate firms within the past few weeks.
The first is understood to have come from America’s Electronic Arts, the world’s second biggest computer games company.
It has always featured strongly in bid chatter that has surrounded SCi.
But it faces competition for SCi from France’s Ubisoft, which the source says has also made an approach.
