Take 2 Interactive - Ubisoft now in?

T2 to merge with Ubisoft to fend off EA?

Ubisoft is perfectly placed to snatch Take Two from under EA’s nose in a shock merger – and may well have a very keen eye on the publisher’s sports portfolio.

That’s according to respected business bible Forbes, which today fingered the French firm as a possible contender to EA in the race to acquire the Rockstar parent.

In the article, Forbes reports that ‘there's a lot at Take Two that could dovetail with Ubisoft's interests’ – not least GTA and Bioshock’s capability to work with Ubi’s continental, franchise-based and multimedia approach.
