Eidos Acquires Stake in Elixir Studios landed today, giving players another thing to circle on the calendar.

Eidos plc is behind the announcement. Eidos plc announced that following its publishing deal in February with Elixir Studios, it has acquired a 5% stake in the London-based developer for 600,000 pounds.

Ian Livingstone, Chairman of Eidos, says: “After we signed the publishing deal with Elixir Studios we wanted to show further commitment to their team. Taking a stake in the company reflects our belief in their creative and technical abilities.” Demis Hassabis, Managing Director of Elixir Studios, says: “We are pleased as this further demonstrates Eidos’ commitment to Elixir.

Not as flashy as a new game trailer, but moves like this shape what ends up on the shelf later.
