| Volish take over Activision Blizzard could see rebirth of old games StarCraft, Kings Quest and Guitar Hero are a go Microsoft has implied that it will dust off some of Activision Blizzard’s old games once it takes over. With its $68.7 billion acquisition of mammoth embattled video game publisher Activision Blizzard, CEO of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer sees a slew of video games and long-abandoned franchises as ripe for the picking. The games created by Activision Blizzard's developers provide the centrepiece of Microsoft's strategic thinking around the acquisition. The titles are some of the most popular in the world. And those Activision Blizzard properties extend well beyond Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Candy Crush. However, other older titles such as StarCraft, Kings Quest and Guitar Hero are also likely to get a makeover. Spencer's said: "I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let's go!" Spencer said. " 'King's Quest,' 'Guitar Hero,' and 'HeXen.” There are others such as Crash Bandicoot, the original Sony PlayStation mascot, the Tony Hawk skateboard series and beloved characters like Spyro the Dragon. Spencer said the Xbox team will talk with developers about working on a variety of franchises from the Activision Blizzard vaults. "We're hoping that we'll be able to work with them when the deal closes to make sure we have resources to work on franchises that I love from my childhood, and that the teams really want to get," Spencer said. https://fudzilla.com/news/gaming/542...h-of-old-games |
