Yet another acquisition: Capcom buys studio behind Tenchu, K2 |
Ó
The video game industry has seen a lot of acquisitions between studios lately. This latest news doesn't come from the Electronic Arts and Take-Two debacle though. Instead, we hear from Capcom, another giant in the industry.
Capcom has revealed its plans in acquiring K2, the Japanese Studio behind the Tenchu stealth games. The Tenchu series has games on numerous platforms, including the PlayStation 2, the Xbox 360, the DS, the PSP, and even mobile phones.
The acquisition is expected to be sealed on May 1, and will be transacted with an exchange of stock. Along with the announcement, Capcom released a statement saying:
Closer ties with K2 will help increase the value of the entire Capcom Group [...] By making this company a wholly owned subsidiary, Capcom plans to make its game development activities more efficient and speedy.
We're excited to see what the studio behind Devil May Cry would do for the Tenchu series. At the least, we're excited at the prospect of a new addition to the franchise. We'll keep you posted, so check back for updates.

What a waste of money! The Tenchu series sucks so much donkey nuts. The team behind it is seriously one of the worst I've seen. If Capcom paid any more than $112 then they've been ripped off.
Is it because you sucks at that game so badly or is it you prefer those shooting games.
It could be just your taste. I am not a stealth game expert too and infact I like good old Thief much more than the rest I think Tenchu is not too bad at all. Also, not all company got bought will continue to product the same game series. For example, Volition after bought by THQ got the Free Space 3 cancelled! I am still pissed off at that even now!
