4Chan Rumor: Square Enix might sell off its western division to Ubisoft after the latest disappointment from Marvel's Avengers.

Of any possible sale....Ubisoft? Seriously?

 

[Deleted member 1003]

I would be shocked if that really happened.

 

[HylianSeven]

A 4chan rumor is a coin toss of whether it's true or not.

 

[Cantaim]

I don't think it'll happen

 

[Napalm_Frank]

In all honesty I could see Ubisoft being better at managin them. Not to say I believe this.

 

[Imran]

What does western division mean here? Huge parts of Athia are being developed in the west and SE seems really happy with that. Do they just mean CD and Eidos? That seems unlikely though I suppose altogether not impossible.

 

[Xando]

Nice

 

[Sou Da]

"4chan rumor"

DuckTales based off of nothing but banter and feelings.

 

[Lowrys]

Whatever it takes to get the conclusion of the Deus Ex trilogy. WHATEVER IT TAKES

 

[Theorry]

 

[RailWays]

Doubt it, even if Avengers was catastrophic.

edit: selling IPs too? Yeah that's definitely bullshit.

 

[.exe]

God, I hope not. Crystal Dynamics, Eidos and the rest deserve better.

 

[Bunta]

The rumor claims it would sell the IPs also, so Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Just Cause, etc. Yeah, no lol.

 

[Voke]

I knew it was a bad idea for them to put all their western devs to avengers.... I miss Deus Ex man ;(

S-E sell Tomb Raider, Deus Ex to Ubisoft....? I mean....OK? I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[LongLivePlay94]

I don't think Ubisoft would be the best suitor to them but given the rumour originates on 4Chan, the same place that said Sony was looking to acquire Square, I highly doubt this has any truth to it.

 

[Dalik]

Ok with this if they un-reboot tomb raider as a result.

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Oh almighty Toincoss, will this come true?

 

[Zok310]

Just give insomniac the Avengers ip

 

[Madjoki]

> 4chan
> probably not true

 

[_zoipi]

They expect to seel Crystal Dinamics and Eidos ans ome of their lessen western studios? IPs included? Just because ONE badly marketed game flopped because they thought people wanted a Destiny 2 but Marvel?

 

[Vault]

Tomb Raider is the only ip of any value

i imagine that is worth a lot

lmao

 

[yoonshik]

That's not how it works.

 

[Bedameister]

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that.
I would welcome it I'd have to say. SE absolutely messed up with its western divisions, those studios would be better off almost anywhere else imo

 

[cvbas]

Don't think it will happen, but I'd love for SE's western studios to be under better leadership.

Deus Ex could be such an amazing franchise...

 

[JEH]

Doubt

 

[Bricks]

Ubisoft to employ every single professional developer in Montreal, basically.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Avengers flopped worse than Anthem which is an incredible achievement.
Also this isn't the first big flop, Dues ex mankind divided bombed and then Eidos got assigned to avengers.
Still though I doubt this rumour 100 percent still even with those points.

 

[Deleted member 14377]

I mean, what the fuck else is that division gonna do..? No planned Tomb Raider or Deus Ex or whatever. I'd believe this.

Lara Creed

 

[DailyCalmSpirit]

Seems flimsy, but, weren't all of these games considered sales failures to Square Enix? I don't find the idea of them dumping the IPs the most far-fetched.

 

[JazzmanZ]

4chan rumor: gullible websites keep picking up stories from shady forum

 

[Angie]

LMAO

I seen more credible "leaks" on twitter than this

 

[Uzupedro]

I mean, Avengers was bad, but to the point where they would sell the whole division because of it?

This sounds crazy.

 

[Fizie]

Ooof, not sure if this is good or not. I just want a new Deus Ex

 

[Patitoloco]

Look, I don't know.

But I do think that the western division of SE is the meaty part of the company IMO. If it's on sale, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone were after them. Really succesful and valuable IPs with really competitive and experienced devs.

In my opinion, it would be extremely more interesting than the WB Games division (talking about rumored sellouts in general, nothing else to compare them)

 

[AuthenticM]

Should we ban 4chan as a source for rumours?

 

[Gassy_N0va]

Boy, it's super hard to go off some 4chan rumor, but I wouldn't hate this after how much SE fucked up one of the largest IPs in the world

 

[DNAbro]

Sounds dumb and who says Ubi is buying?

 

[Deleted member 34714]

Why would Ubisoft be interested in a studio tasked with one of the biggest IP manages to fail so hard that they lose money be interested?

"video game insider" 😂

 

[Annihilo]

open world deus ex here we go

 

[Deleted member 10737]

selling the tomb raider IP would be... weird. i don't see it happening.

 

[Mesoian]

That would be pretty bad business if they did. You can't forget that the western studios were basically keeping the entire conglomo open during SquareEnix Japan's hunt for a new engine.

 

[Edgar]

Of any possible sale....Ubisoft? Seriously?

Click to shrink...

Who else is large enough to buy?

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Then yearly Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Just Case, LIS etc... incoming.

 

[Sargerus]

Deus Ex with the Ubisoft open world formula.

I'm conflicted.

 

[Deleted member 364]

I dont want Microsoft to own everything, but I'd rather Microsoft get them than fucking Ubisoft lol.

 

[Raigor]

People seriously think square Enix is going to sell their publishing branch, all eidos IPS and all the 5 studios they have? Lol
