Activision also acquired King in the year 2016

  • A large portion of the deal is due to the numerous OSRS gold acquisitions that Activision has made in the past decade. Though Activision does not lack in big franchises, most notably it's annualized World of Warcraft releases and the battle royale that is currently in play World of Warcraft : Warzone as well, it has also taken major moves of its own, which will be incorporated within Microsoft. Microsoft umbrella.

    The year 2008 saw Activision merged with Blizzard to bring the highly successful World of Warcraft franchise along with other games such as Starcraft. Blizzard has a variety of other IPs in addition to more recent ones like World of Warcraft and the WoW spin-off World of Warcraft . After the huge popularity of World of Warcraft on mobile devices, Blizzard has also started to enter the mobile gaming market with games such as the forthcoming World of Warcraft .

    When it comes to mobile, Activision also acquired King in the year 2016. That acquisition has been among its most lucrative for Activision with massive mobile brands like Candy Crush leading the way. This is important because Microsoft has been keeping an eye on the mobile market, particularly recently, by focusing on its cloud gaming service through Game Pass.

    Based on Axios writer Stephen Totilo, documents show several other older and defunct trademarks that will also become Microsoft property if the deal is completed. They include cheap OSRS GP IP like Hexen, Gabriel Knight, and Pitfall!, along with out-of-use game labels like Sierra.
