Square Enix Wants Pitches Eidos IP

The Square Enix Collective have made a host of Eidos IPs available for developers to pitch on.

The IPs in question are early Eidos classics Gex, Fear Effect and Anachronox - Developers wanting to submit an idea must pitch a game based in one of the three universes. 

I’m excited to see what talented teams might do with any one of Gex, Fear Effect or Anachronox IPs. We’ll monitor the response carefully before deciding which IPs to release next,” said Phil Elliott, project lead on Collective. “We first announced we’d be opening up Eidos IPs for developers to pitch on, with our initial announcement of Collective in November 2013. Since then we’ve worked hard to establish the Collective platform as a viable place for small teams to build awareness for their ideas.

News that Goetia, from French developer Sushee, passed its $30,000 target yesterday (with 48 hours still to run), was a catalyst to open up the Eidos IP. To date 36 original game ideas from teams in 17 different countries that have been published on the Collective Feedback platform.

New project pitch submissions are available now, so get your thinking cap on. A detailed explanation of how the process of pitching on the Eidos IPs is available in a blog post on the Collective website.
