Unconfirmed: CCP Games Owners Looking Into Selling Studio

According to a report from Bloomberg, which are based on unnamed sources informed on the matter, the owners of CCP Games are looking at a number of “strategic options” that include the sale of the studio. The parties involved declined to comment, but Bloomberg is an important publication, so there’s reason to believe they might be onto something:

CCP hf, the Icelandic game developer that created the cult classic Eve Online game, is exploring strategic options including a sale of the business after receiving interest from potential bidders, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The closely held company’s owners, which include European investor Novator Partners LLP, U.S. investment fund General Catalyst Partners LLC and venture capitalist New Enterprise Associates Inc., are discussing whether or not to proceed with a sale, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. A sale of CCP could value the business at as much as 900 million euros ($955 million), the people said.
