    PC Zone has a short article on the potential sale of Interplay.

    While there is every reason to suspect that Microsoft may be looking to acquire a big-name developer, PC Zone has learnt that the third party in question may not be as familiar to most as the rumours suggest.

    When quizzed over the possibility of acquisition from one of the industry's leading lights an insider at Interplay hinted that the acquisition might well come from "outside the games industry". Pushed further he went on to reveal that a major interest had come from "a Chinese consortium".


    Another article at Computers and Videogames claims that the deal has already taken place, and not with Microsoft. Please remember this is speculation, as Interplay has not announced any deals yet.

    Pacific Century Cyber Works, the Chinese consortium fingered around a month ago in making an active bid for Activision, is heavily rumoured to have signed a buyout deal for Interplay this morning. Interplay sources have confirmed that the company will announce the deal within 10 days.
