3D design tools company Autodesk, probably best known for the Autocad and Maya product lines, appears to have acquired Stockholm-based game engine supplier Bitsquid.
From the Autodesk announcement:
We are significantly expanding our portfolio of game making tools, complementing our middleware and 3D animation tools
This could indicate Autodesk plans to compete with engine makers like Unity, Epic, Id and others.
Bitssquid's homepage showcases several of the game engine clients, and the company blog has several articles on the game engine design.
