Earlier this year, Microsoft announced its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, a video game publisher and developer. At the time, Microsoft said the deal was a value-neutral transaction, inclusive of the company’s net cash. Microsoft has since released a number of blog posts and infographics highlighting the benefits of the acquisition. They also stated that the purchase would lead to a more competitive console gaming market and increased local investment in game development studios.
For one thing, Activision Blizzard is the developer behind the popular Call of Duty series. This series has sold more than 400 million units worldwide, making it one of the top-grossing gaming franchises of all time. The company has recently announced a number of new titles, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The series will continue into the future with Call of Duty: Vanguard, which is scheduled for release in November of 2021. In addition to new maps and weapons, Modern Warfare will feature the Campaign Narrative, Tactical Advice for Zombies Gauntlet, and various editions.
Another piece of news that’s been making the rounds is Call of Duty’s new Battle Royale mode. The mode, which will be free-to-play, features iconic locations from the Call of Duty universe. It also has an official YouTube channel. The company has plans to expand the game with new maps, heroes, and bug fixes. The company has also made the announcement that the game will be available on multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
Another exciting development is the return of Plunder Packs in Call of Duty: Black Ops. The pack offers special gold and black skins for vehicles in the game. Previously, Plunder Packs were only available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and its predecessor, Call of Duty: World at War. The company recently announced that Plunder Packs will also be available in the recently announced Call of Duty: Warzone, although details are scarce at the moment.
In addition, the company has announced the “Hire. Honor..” campaign, which features special black skins for all drivable vehicles in the game. The campaign will also highlight the many ways gamers can get involved with the game. The company plans to offer special “Black Ops” skins to users who complete a number of tasks and participate in the game’s social network.
The company also has a Twitter and Facebook page. The latter of which recently featured an interview with Call of Duty music composer Matt Ross. The company has also partnered with Avenged Sevenfold for years. This is not the first time the band has worked with the publisher, but it’s the first time they’ve done it in the company’s name. The act of writing a song for a video game is certainly the most impressive feat of its kind.
The best part of the Activision Games Blog is that it’s not only a news blog. It also has a number of infographics highlighting the revenue growth in the gaming industry. The company also has a Twitter account, an Instagram account, and a Facebook page.
