Microsoft is Starting a New Era in the Gaming Industry

Microsoft continues to develop new strategies and formations to create more impact in the gaming industry. The company has established a special team in collaboration with Activision to produce smaller-scale games at Blizzard.

New Team and Goals

According to Jez Corden from Windows Central, Microsoft and Activision have decided to create a new team that includes the majority of King employees at Blizzard. This team will develop games based on iconic franchises such as Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, and Overwatch. However, it is planned for these projects to have a smaller and more manageable scope.

King is a company known for its expertise in mobile games. Therefore, it is expected that the games developed by the new team will likely focus on mobile platforms. Additionally, there is information that Xbox is working on a mobile game store for iOS and Android.

Big Successes with Small Projects

Sources emphasize that the key to Microsoft’s success is exploring with small teams and conducting various experiments. One of the biggest concerns in the gaming industry in recent years has been the costs of high-budget games. Overcoming these high costs and achieving success with smaller-scale projects has become one of the main goals of studios today.

• Thanks to Microsoft’s new team structure, it is planned to develop more diverse games.
• Projects specifically for mobile platforms aim to enhance the user experience.
• Shifting towards smaller-scale projects is gaining importance to reduce the risks associated with high-budget games.
