crispy4000 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Microsoft and Activision have formed a new team within Blizzard to work on smaller 'AA' games based on existing IP | Windows Central WWW.WINDOWSCENTRAL.COM Employees from King and other parts of Activision have formed a new team within the Blizzard umbrella. Quote Over the past few weeks, many King employees had switched their LinkedIn profiles from King to Blizzard. We can reveal that Microsoft and Activision have formed a new smaller team within Blizzard comprised of King and various other employees to work on "AA" games, based on existing Blizzard franchises like Overwatch, Warcraft, StarCraft, and beyond. Microsoft is keen to leverage its huge back catalog of franchises it acquired with its Activision-Blizzard purchase of previous years. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the efforts, but on the surface of things, it reminds me of NetEase making mobile Diablo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Why take from King? Nothing against mobile devs (I had a stint as one) but is it just because they were cheaper? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
