SCi/Eidos reveals latest financial results

It's July which means it's earnings season for publicly traded companies. That means a number of game publishers will be announcing their earnings for their last quarter (which ended June 30). One of the first out of the gates is UK based SCi, the parent company of Eidos. In a new note this week, the publisher announced that its previously announced restructuring plans to reduce costs has put the company "in good shape" for the rest of the year.

At the moment revenues are expected to be £134 million for the company's 2008/2008 fiscal year that ended June 30 with more details to be announced in September. Currently Eidos is riding high on the success of the PC launch of Age of Conan with co-publisher Funcom; the report states that it got to the 1 million sales mark faster than expected.

For the rest of 2008 Eidos plans to release Tomb Raider Underworld and in the first half of 2009 it will release Just Cause 2, Battlestations Pacific and an unnamed game based on DC Comics' Batman. There's no mention of two previously announced Eidos games, Highlander and Shellshock 2.
