The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has said Microsoft may need to divest part of Activision Blizzard or Call of Duty if the watchdog is to approve the $69 billion merger.īut Microsoft is reluctant to entertain such structural remedies given the size of the Call of Duty brand and Activision Blizzard’s mobile expertise. “CoD: Mobile is expected to be phased out over time (outside of China) with the launch of Warzone Mobile,” it added. “CoD: Mobile was developed and is owned by TiMi Studios, a subsidiary of Tencent,” Microsoft said in a newly published response to the UK competition regulator’s investigation into its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Officially revealed last September, Warzone Mobile is being co-developed by Activision’s Shanghai, Beenox, Digital Legends, and Solid State studios. But according to Microsoft, Activision’s long-term plan is to replace the game with Warzone Mobile, which is scheduled for release this year.
