Officials from Japanese publisher and developer Capcom have announced they are to acquire developer K2, best known as the original creators of Tenchu on the PSone. The studio will become a wholly owned subsidiary through a simple exchange of stock.
Although Capcom has never traditionally published any of K2’s major retail release, the two companies have recently worked together behind the scenes - most recently in creating additional content for console hit Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.
