We Created Ultimate List of Activision Blizzard Brands to be Acquired by Microsoft

We took a look at the Activision and Blizzard brands that will soon become Microsoft's property. Their number is impressive.

I don't think anyone was expecting yesterday's twist, which was the announcement of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft. Most players are hoping that this will also mean the digging up of some old and forgotten brands from the drawer of the California giant. And what IPs ended up in the hands of the company's hands? A quick glance at the database of the United States Patent and Trademark Office makes your jaw drop - the list (arranged alphabetically) counts several dozen items.

It is worth noting, however, that a small research leads us to the conclusion that many of the IPs known in years past were simply abandoned. For example, Activision did not fight for the Phantasmagoria brand as well as many other well-known series once owned by Sierra On-Line.

Will Game Pass include a subscription for WoW? We will find out soon.

The question remains whether Microsoft will allow studios like Raven Software to make something other than Call of Duty. After all, the aforementioned developers have delivered hits such as Soldier of Fortune and Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy. What do you think, which of the above brands will be brought back to life? I wonder how many of them will become Xbox exclusive titles. We'll probably have to wait at least a few years for some answers.
