It's been a while since we last heard an update, but it appears that Eidos is still seeking a buyout. The company recently stated, "[We are] currently in the process of selecting a preferred counterparty". Eidos also announced that its popular soccer sim, Championship Manager 5, will not be making its anticipated October release on the PC, instead being pushed back to sometime before Christmas or even "into the New Year". The delay will likely cripple Eidos further, as Sega's rival game, Football Manager 2005 (developed by the same creators), is finished and will ship later this fall. We will keep you posted with future details.
