We have received reports that swelling French publisher Ubi Soft is set to swallow all or part of Eidos Interactive in a take over deal due to be announced at E3.
Shares in Eidos jumped overnight by a notable 13.5% on Friday’s price, fuelled by speculation that has made its way to the Financial Times, centering around some comments made by Ubi Soft chief Yves Guillemot. "Eidos is among a few companies that will eventually be sold. As many of our peers we look at it as a potential target," he said.
Eidos has regularly been the subject of take over speculation and has been linked in the past with Activision and Infogrames, amongst others.
When contacted, Eidos simply said it “…has no comment to make” at this time.
