Microsoft has announced its plans to acquire Activision Blizzard for nearly $70 billion in what is going to be the largest acquisition in the history of the video game industry. Assuming everything is approved, Activision Blizzard, its associated studios, and all its IP will likely fall under the Xbox umbrella starting some point in mid to late 2023. When this happens, Xbox will have the chance to do whatever it wants with Activision Blizzard franchises, like bringing some dormant ones back from the dead.
