Após meses de discussão, hoje finalmente a história se fechou. Foi anunciado a conclusão da aquisição da Activision Blizzard por parte da Microsoft, com a gigante de Redmond agora possuindo controle sobre essa editora de jogos.
Com essa aquisição, o portfólio de IPs da Xbox certamente aumentou de forma drástica, já que a Activision Blizzard possuía um extenso catálogo de franquias. Para ajudar os jogadores a terem uma ideia, o portal Kotaku separou todas as principais IPs que a Xbox agora possui sob seu controle.
