Según Venturbeat, Square Enix ha vendido todos sus juegos F2P a Sleepy Giant Entertainment.

Cita:JapanÔÇÖs Square Enix, a major video game company that just published a reboot of Tomb Raider, announced a big restructuring today. GamesBeat has learned that it has sold off its portfolio of free-to-play games to Sleepy Giant Entertainment, a startup with a considerable amount of funding.

Sleepy Giant raised $100 million from TPG Capital, the private equity firm run by financiers David Bonderman and James Coulter, and Evolution Media Capital. ItÔÇÖs not clear which titles Square Enix has sold, but it evidently has lost its appetite for launching the free-to-play titles on its own. Square Enix is a major publisher of hardcore games such as the Final Fantasy series.

The companies have not announced any deal yet. WeÔÇÖve queried Sleepy Giant for a comment. A spokesman for Square Enix said, ÔÇ£We donÔÇÖt comment on any details for external development deals.ÔÇØ But multiple sources familiar with the matter confirmed that Sleepy Giant has picked up four unannounced Square Enix games.

Meanwhile, Square Enix formally revealed on Monday evening (U.S. time) that its digital entertainment business will fall substantially below revenue expectations due to slow sales of major console games in North America and Europe. The company said it is ÔÇ£also experiencing sluggish performance of its arcade machine business.ÔÇØ

Square Enix expects a loss from restructuring in the fiscal year ending March 31. The company said it plans to implement ÔÇ£major reforms and restructuring in its development policy, organizational structure, some business models, and others.ÔÇØ It expects a loss of 10 billion yen, or $105 million, from its restructuring charges. The extraordinary downturn includes a loss on disposal of content of $42 million and on evaluation of content of $42 million, and other losses of $21 million.

Otra gran noticia. Ya estaba harto de ver que todos los días anunciaban chorrijuegos relacionados con Final Fantasy y Kingdom Hearts para móviles.

Hola.

Para móviles e iOS seguramente seguirán lanzando algunos títulos, aunque yo apostaría por una menor cantidad, fuera de lo que ya estén desarrollando, que no creo que lo paren.

Yo apostaría por 3DS y PS3, sobretodo por la primera, es la que más fácilmente les puede asegurar recuperar sus inversiones.

Un saludo.
