EA is acquiring Codemasters for $1.2 billion
The move could trigger a billion-dollar bidding war with Take-Two Interactive, which placed an offer for the UK-based developer last month on December 14, 2020, 9:52 25 comments
In brief: Following Take-Two s $970 million bid for Codemasters last month, EA has now entered the chat with a $1.2 billion deal to acquire the racing game studio. Like Take-Two s original offer, this deal is expected to close by the first quarter of next year, meaning that both US publishing giants have plenty of time to outbid each other in determining who gets to control a major portion of the racing game genre.
