Microsoft will soon be able to officially announce the purchase of teams creating brands such as Call of Duty, Overwatch and Diablo – Rob Kostich also commented on the matter in the latest interview. The president is convinced that in the future, Call of Duty games will be even better thanks to the support of the Xbox manufacturer.
For 20 months, faithful observers of the Redmond giant’s activities have been waiting for the completion of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which should take place in the coming days, when the CMA will publish the final decision giving the green light to finalize the transaction.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Rob Kostich focused not only on the extensive development of the shooter and plans for the next parts. In his opinion, the finalization of the agreement between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will make Call of Duty games better. All thanks to the possibilities of using technology and corporate tools.
As we said earlier, this deal is good for the industry and will bring more games to more players. In terms of access to resources, the ability to leverage Microsoft’s technology and toolkit will benefit our teams in creating even better, more immersive experiences for our players. Ultimately, it’s about bringing our development team’s creative visions to life in this hyper-competitive environment. The prospect of joining Microsoft is an incredible opportunity for our team and our players, and we look forward to the outcome soon.
Microsoft will certainly invest additional funds in the development of teams – we have already repeatedly witnessed situations in which Americans reported support for teams joining Xbox Game Studios (for example, Ninja Theory and Playground Games), while recent reports indicate that the company has not forgotten about ZeniMax studios Media (Tango Gameworks). There is no doubt that Phil Spencer’s employees will want to provide the creators of Call of Duty with the best possible conditions, which will result in the systematic delivery of new shooters.
