Here’s A Look At All The New Game Franchises That Xbox Now Own

It’s absolutely no secret that with today’s announcement of Xbox acquiring Activision-Blizzard, that Xbox’s juggernaut of studios and franchises has gone to a new level in terms of trying to keep track of the studios and franchise that they own, so we thought we’d take a quick look at not only what was added today, but then also their overall slate of studios that they now have control of.

It’s worth mentioning that whilst Xbox has made its intentions extremely clear in regards to the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, technically it hasn’t gone through legally yet, although we see now reason why it won’t.

ACTIVISION-BLIZZARD FRANCHISES THAT WILL BECOME XBOX FRANCHISES

  • Crash Bandicoot
  • Spyro The Dragon
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
  • Call Of Duty
  • Call Of Duty Warzone
  • Candy Crush
  • Diablo
  • Hearthstone
  • World of Warcraft
  • Overwatch
  • Warcraft
  • Guitar Hero

Believe it or not, there’s actually more that lay dormant, but we’ve kept this list to the ones that have been active in the last 5-10 years.

THE NEW SLATE OF XBOX FIRST-PARTY STUDIOS

With the addition of several new Activision Blizzard studios and a whole bunch of new talent, it takes Xbox’s first party studio line-up to more than 30 studios.

The great Klobrille has also put this into a new graphic to make it super easy, but it’s clearly getting to the point where one graphic isn’t enough.
