Sony has finally issued a response to Microsoft’s shock announcement that it will be acquiring Activision Blizzard from earlier this week, stating that it expects relevant games to remain multiplatform due to preexisting “contractual agreements” with the publisher.
On Tuesday, Jan. 18, Microsoft announced it will be acquiring Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. Within 24 hours of the news, rival company Sony’s market value plummeted by a whopping $20 billion, prompting concern over whether or not major Activision Blizzard games like Call of Duty would be exclusive to Microsoft-affiliated platforms going forward.
