The idea of Square Enix taking over Eidos has been kicked around the internet for months now, so it may not come as a surprise to you that the takeover is not only official, it’s happening soon. According to GI.biz, Squenix will acquire Eidos in late April, after the latter publisher’s shares are delisted. That means going forth, Tomb Raider will officially be a Square Enix property. That’s just weird.

We can’t predict what the merger will mean for the future of these two publishers, but we sure can speculate! I’m hoping that in the next Tomb Raider game, Lara falls into a portal to another dimension, which brings her face-to-face with some of the characters from the Final Fantasy universe. Better yet, just stick her in Kingdom Hearts III, assuming it ever comes out.

We’ll let you know when we hear more news about the merger, as well as when we settle on a new, unofficial nickname for the company. Squeidox, Squeeidix, and Squarnidox are still on the table, got anything better?
