Square Enix was apparently fed up with its western studios after a $200 million loss over the recent Marvel-based games from Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal.
According to David Gibson, MST Financial analyst, and reported by Metro, Square Enix lost $200 million between Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which was seemingly the last straw for Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal.
However, this is exactly where Square Enix had to bear a huge loss.
Despite such a loss, Embracer Group, the soon-to-be owner of Crystal Dynamics, Eidos, and SE Montreal, is still interested in both Marvel-based titles and has apparently sent a request to Disney to take over the publishing rights for both games, which is now in pending.
