Now that Microsoft has announced the purchase of Activision Blizzard and will in the near future have total control over the future of over 12 new development studios, which of these teams should be allowed to try their hands on something new? If I were Microsoft, I would remove Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games away from COD and allow them to try their hands on brand new IP, whether it be an FPS or completely different genre. The COD games from both of these studios were never well received in the first place and I don't think anyone would bat an eye if a sequel to Vanguard never materializes anyway. This would also allow COD to breathe a lot more as it would have to stop being an yearly franchise which would be great for the over-expended franchise IMO.
Another team that has been overlooked for many years is Radical Entertainment. They made Prototype 1 & 2 and then helped Bungie on Destiny 2. Although their staff dwindled significantly after the commercial failure of the Prototype franchise, I think they should be given the support to make a new IP as well or even Prototype 3 if they can make a cool enough concept for it.
What are your thoughts and what type of games would you like to see these Activision studios make in the future under Microsoft?
