Xbox Game Studios |OT12| The One with Starfield and Activision Blizzard King

Looks like Microsoft Casual Games Studios are now folded into Bethesda group. I think the new Head of Bethesda was from Casual Games so it makes sense.

"The Microsoft Game Content and Studios organization empowers the world-class studios across Bethesda, ZeniMax, and Casual to do their best work creating incredible worlds their players love. This group of studios includes Alpha Dog, Arkane Austin, Arkane Lyon, Bethesda Game Studios, Microsoft Casual Games, id Software, Machine Games, Roundhouse Studios, Tango Gameworks, and ZeniMax Online Studios.

Makes sense, King has weird restrictions for a decade thanks to the CMA, and Bethesda has the next strongest mobile presence to align them with.

What are the 10+ releases Matt alluded to?

Age of Mythology, Ara, Towerborne, Indiana Jones, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Call of Duty, Diablo 4 expansion and Flight Sim 2024 are 9. Since it includes major expansions the “10+” could also include the expansions for Starfield or Elder Scrolls Online but since we haven’t even hit E3 season yet it’s possible there is still something yet to announce.

Just hit my very first 100k dps parse in ESO, just in time for the new update to bring a good amount of buffs for the Sorcerer and other classes.

I always thought the extra 3k I needed would come with the update, but just goldening my gear pushed me there. Now I’m only 40-42k dps behind the highest parse done with sorcs.

Does anyone know if Relic entertainment involved with this game like age of empires 4?

It is still quite surreal seeing how far they’ve come:

Good for them, but Activision is now a 100% confirmed COD machine maker

How is that selfish? That can still happen. T4B doesn’t own those franchises.
