Square Enix Edios isn’t going to deny North America more Batman: Arkham Asylum goodness. The company has just announced that the Game of the Year Edition, which initially was going to be a European and Australian exclusive, will be released in North America. Just it’ll be released in North America a little bit later.

If you’re in Europe or Australia, then you get access to the Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition a little bit earlier. It comes out at the end of the month, March 26, 2010 to be exact, there. The North American version won’t be out until May 11, 2010…

Square Enix is creeping ever closer to devouring Eidos. Bloomberg.com is reporting that Square Enix’s bid is £84.3 million, roughly $120 million. The site also reports that prior to the announcement of Square Enix’s bid, the going stock price per share in London for Eidos was 14 pence, but after it was commanding 31.75 pence per share. Quite a dramatic surge, but that still falls short of the 32 pence per share Square Enix is offering.

If the Eidos shareholders accept the offer, then Square Enix will own Eidos and all of that company’s intellectual properties. Siliconera reports that 75% of the Eidos shareholders have to accept the offer for it to go through.

So we all should probably start adjusting to the new name. Square Enix Eidos. Hm, nope. Too long. We’re going to have to go with S.E.E. You may be tempted to pronounce it Es-E-E, but just cave in and say “see.” If the deal goes through, that’s probably what all the cool kids will be doing anyways…
