SCi Entertainment, owner of publisher Eidos, announced today that it has been approached with a probable buy out. UK newspaper The Guardian has reported that Ubisoft, apparently, has a strong interested in SCi.

In a letter to the London Stock Exchange (LSE), SCi confirmed that it's in the potential stages of a buy out discussion with an unnamed interest. According to The Guardian, however, Ubisoft is trying to buy them out once again. Ubisoft previously tried to buy out SCi, but nothing came of it.

Furthermore, The Guardian says potential offers could even come from Sony. The outcome will be interesting, as there is potential that future titles could become platform exclusive.

    This would be awesome for sony if they did, Hitman would be a good exclusive to have for PS3, wicked series.

    Does anyone here actually know that SCi Entertainment isn't Sony? SCi made games like the Conflict games (Conflict Vienam and Desert Storm). Besides would it really make sense to you for Ubisoft to try and buy out Sony?
