Acti didn’t own Bungie, they were only publisher of Destiny.
Behind Mario Kart and more popular than GT. NFS would be somewhere in the mix. I don’t know any numbers right now.
Halo took about 5 years and in the end TC, Turn 10 and more studios had to help. Even after that the game is still missing modes announced beforehand. One studio for CoD won’t be enough. The studio would need to do seasons for Warzone and then the mainline games each 2-3 years.
I demand and expect Spencer to stop releasing CoD each and every year. I think many teams will be getting the creative freedom they deserve. Yet, the franchise is to big and selling to much to keep it on ice for 5-7 years.
This would be a good outcome
you guys forget about warzone 2 and it will be handled by raven studio and probably other studios who knows. Raven will be the main studio with IW.
yearly releases will be gone, it will be every two years, IW, Treyarch, Sledgehammer with other supp studios will be on COD Factory.
you need to realize not every studio will pulled out of COD Factory.
the best case scenario is studios expand to work on multiple games like respawn.
anyway for now i only expect toys for bob to be first pulled out from COD Factory.

When you see the number of projects in work, rumored, and leaked from XGS, XGSP & Bethesda, and then contrast that to ActiBlizz… yikes. Especially Activision, ugh. At least Blizzard has OW2, Diablo 4, and the new survival IP. But Activision is all on CoD it’s disgusting. MS has A LOT of work to do making them function like an actual publisher again.

I expect Toys for Bob to get back working on the crash game before they were pulled to work on COD.
what was it again the crash game ?
as for other studios you probably have to wait whole gen to get result of these studios, i assume they will making AAA Games.
Remakes, Remasters and AA Games will take less time.
As someone that uses gaming to relax, like reading, I don’t like the focus on coop and MP that MS have. It seems that their bigger budget bets, in the main, have to have a MP component. That’s not good news for me,personally. The last thing I want to do when gaming is deal with other humans.
There’s always exceptions to this but they are vastly outnumbered.
Are you bothered with games having a multiplayer component AT ALL despite not affecting the singleplayer (Halo, Gears, Forza), or games where multiplayer is the focus and only way to play/enjoy (Sea of Thieves)? I’d agree with the latter, but disagree with the former. I see no evidence that MS have focus on MP from their XGS studios. On the contrary, most of them in the works are either single-player only or single-player focused, or at worst there’s an important single-player component. We have gathered and Grubb has said as much that that’s why they’re looking for more MP/Co-op focused games with XGS Publishing. But even those games I’d like if MS requires they have a SP component or be played fully solo just fine.
As a mainly single-player player, I find XGS franchise appeal to me perfectly, the conception that they’re multiplayer focused on driven is just wrong. From Psychonauts 2, FH5, and to Halo Infinite, all are single player driven with MP/Co-op components that are also good, even something like Flight Sim is a SP game in essence.

awesome, can’t wait for this game
Pretty much lol. Publishing seems like it has tons of top WB talent.
Tells me a couple things. Leadership there may not be feeling comfortable with the long term outlook of the games division and are starting to leave.
It could also just be great new challenge and opportunities for these folks.
One things for sure, it can’t hurt the outlook of bringing WB studios possibly into the family down the road. If these are solid leadership people, others will follow. One way or the other

Eventually, they’ll have these games from Microsoft studios or publishing deals.
- Call of Duty
- Overwatch
- Contraband
- Redfall
- Halo
- Gears
- Sea of Thieves
- Everwild
- Forza Horizon/Motorsport
- Fallout 76
- Elder Scrolls Online
- Minecraft
- State of Decay
- Project Dragon
- Certain Affinity game
- Perfect Dark? (assuming it has MP)
- Warcraft/StarCraft?
Those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head. Seems like a nice mix. EA probably recognizes just how critical sports games are to the success of Game Pass as well.
They ban you for ANYTHING on that site. Not to take this topic off-topic(and mods forgive me), but I am left leaning and a Black person and even I got banned for ridiculous things. I got banned for 2 WEEKS saying Sarah Bond is beautiful and that I am glad a Black woman has a high position within Xbox. I agree that dismissing cerftain issues shouldn’t be tolerated but should not warrant an over correction in banning(and no I don’t think you did anything wrong). I said something stupid on here(yes very stupid), but instead of getting a weeks worth of banning, my post got deleted and I was able to apologize for said stupid post. With the Sarah Bond post I couldn’t even explain the context. Just a swift ban.
Again everyone, apologies if I went off topic. Just had to get something off my chest.
