Tecmo, known mostly for its Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive games, had also drawn interest from Square Enix who made an offer of $206 million, but the developers revealed other plans, having already entered talks with Koei.
Game developer and publisher Koei (Dynasty Warriors, Romance of the Three Kingdoms) paid $207 million for the deal, but an operating profit of $166.2 million is expected by the end of 2012. This should not be a huge problem, since this year the two companies shared an operating profit of $88 million, according to a Reuters report.
There was no announcement made regarding new game projects or dropping already existing ones – and we’re unlikely to hear some solid, exact news until April, when the merger becomes official. But we do hope for the best.
