Bohemia Interactive has denied an acquisition by Tencent, a story widely reported yesterday.
Tech website The Information led the charge, reporting that Tencent bought a 70-80% stake in Bohemia, developer of titles including ARMA, DayZ and Vigor, for roughly $260 million USD.
“I just wanted to let you know that the information circulated by various major media sources about Bohemia Interactive acquired by Tencent is not true,” Bohemia’s CEO, Marek Španěl said in a statement to Stevivor.
“We were talking to numerous potential partners in the past about possible strategic cooperation and we may do so in the future as well but as of now, we remain an independent studio.”
Španěl joked about the report, adding, “the valuation circulated in the media sounds tempting. Maybe I should think about my retirement plans after all now? Any better offers?”
Vigor is Bohemia’s latest shooter, out now on Xbox One.
