Square Enix has poured cold water over reports that multiple parties are currently and actively looking to acquire it. The company posted a short, to-the-point post on its investor relations website explaining that it isn't considering selling off the company or even part of its business, nor has it had any offers or invites to do so.
"Bloomberg has reported today that there is interest from several buyers to acquire Square Enix," the post reads. "However, this report is not based on any announcement by Square Enix. We do not consider selling off the company or any part of its businesses, nor have we received any offer from any third party to acquire the company or any part of its businesses."
As Square Enix's post alludes to, chatter began to swirl when Bloomberg reported that several buyers had shown interest in the company. Bloomberg's report points to a separate story from CTFN, which says that "Square Enix is said to have received recent [merger and acquisition] interest, according to two bankers following digital gaming deals".
