Updated 2:10 p.m.: few minutes to break the news the portal Bloomberg has spokenindicating that CNBC sources have been able to assure him that Amazon has not submitted any offer to acquire Electronic Arts.
We have been in a time when from time to time there is an announcement that some company spends a real pasture to buy a video game company. There we have cases as striking as that of Microsoft taking over Bethesda or Activision, but the new bombshell comes from Amazon that seems to be acquiring Electronic Arts.
This has been stated by USA Today, claiming to have some sources that have revealed that the purchase would take place today after submitting a formal offer. In this way, Amazon would take over the licensing rights such as FIFA, Apex Legends and many other franchises.
Mass Effect and Dragon Age would also be added to the list, which have new installments in development, as well as Dead Space, which will receive its long-awaited remake in a few months. In short, Amazon will take over a batch of very popular and demanded sagas to further strengthen its commitment to video games.
In fact, the same publication drops that there is so much potential in all these series so that Amazon seizes the opportunity to bring them to the small screen with their own television series. Even so, all the information must be taken with tweezers until the news is officially confirmed, which if so, would be in the next few hours.
The truth is that it does not sound very far-fetched, since last May the alarm went off after Electronic Arts was looking for companies for a possible sale or merger, being Disney, Apple and Amazon the main candidates to take this step. Thus, it seems that the latter aims to be the one that will get away with it.
