Japanese publisher Square Enix's ongoing of maker gathers pace today, the firm having now acquired an additional 11% of the company - shares formerly owned by Insight Investment Management.

The purchase cost 32 pence per share, and brings the publisher's total holding to over 32%.

Major shareholders Pioneer, and Legal & General have already given their backing to Square's purchase; the firm hope to garner a stronger foothold in Western game markets via this buy-out.

Eidos is of course home to IPs such as Thief, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Championship Manager, and more besides. We'll keep you posted on this.
