List of Square Enix Europe games
Square Enix Europe is a British video game publisher which is wholly owned by Square Enix, a Japanese video game company. Square Enix acquired game publisher Eidos Interactive on 22 April 2009, which was then merged with Square Enix's European publishing wing and reorganized as Square Enix Europe.[1] This list includes retail, downloadable, and mobile games published by Square Enix Europe since its formation in April 2009.[note 1] Prior to its purchase, Eidos plc was the holding company for the Eidos group of companies, including publisher Eidos Interactive and development studios such as Crystal Dynamics, IO Interactive, Beautiful Game Studios, and Eidos Montréal.[2] Square Enix Europe also does external publishing as Square Enix External Studios and indie game publishing under the Square Enix Collective brand.
The majority of the titles published by Square Enix Europe have been developed by those former subsidiaries or by newer Square Enix subsidiaries such as Square Enix Montréal. Additionally, most of the titles belong to franchises previously published by Eidos, such as the Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex, and Championship Manager franchises. The Championship Manager series has seen the greatest number of releases by Square Enix Europe, at nine games on four platforms, followed by the Tomb Raider series at six games across eleven platforms. Several of the franchises published by Square Enix Europe have sold millions of copies both before and after its founding: the Tomb Raider franchise has the highest lifetime sales with over 45 million copies since 1996, followed by Hitman with over 15 million copies sold since 2000.[3] Several other series, including Deus Ex, Championship Manager, and Just Cause, have also sold several million copies over their lifetimes.[3][4]
