London -- U.K.-based video game developer Eidos announced on Thursday that it will acquire Denmark-based developer IO Interactive, creators of titles like "Hitman 2" and "Freedom Fighters," for $42 million. The purchase price could increase to $51 million, based on a four year, performance based earn-out. Eidos, known for its "Tomb Raider" game franchise, said the acquisition of IO increases its internally owned intellectual property and strengthens its European creative base and resources for development.
