Eidos Interactive is a publisher of video and computer games based in the United Kingdom. Its most well-known game series include Tomb Raider, Hitman, Commandos, Deus Ex, Legacy of Kain, Fear Effect, and Thief; of these, the only currently running franchises are Tomb Raider, Hitman, Commandos, and Legacy of Kain (currently under review), as the Thief and Deus Ex teams have all been disbanded.

Eidos plc, later to become the parent company of Eidos Interactive, was founded in 1990 as a company specialising in video compression and non-linear editing systems, particularly for Acorn Archimedes computers. Following a series of rights issues and a strongly rising share price, Eidos plc undertook a series of acquisitions in the games sector, starting with the acquisition of the PC games companies Domark Group Limited, Simis Limited and The Big Red Software Company Limited in 1995 through a reverse takeover. At the time, Domark was known for 3D Construction Kit, Championship Manager, Hard Drivin', and many other games. Domark (by far the largest of the set), Simis and Big Red were combined into Eidos Interactive. In 1996, with the success of the Sony Playstation imminent, Eidos plc acquired CentreGold plc (which included US Gold and Centresoft). Centresoft was sold back in an MBO. US Gold included the valuable asset of Core Design (probably best known for Chuck Rock, Curse of Enchantia, Heimdall, Rick Dangerous, Tomb Raider, Cybercon III, and E-Motion). A further series of acquisitions and skilful use of capital meant that Eidos plc (now almost entirely consisting of Eidos Interactive) was the fastest growing company in the world in the 1990s, with the share price rising over 400 times from its 1993 low to its 1999 high.

The company was planning to bring out a RISC OS powered games console prior to the collapse of Acorn Computers as a vendor and the sale of the OS to Pace Micro.
