Activision is building the buzz around the next-generation of gaming at Gamescom 2013, with a line-up of strong franchises within the gaming industry. Some of the most highly-anticipated games of the year will be shown within Activision’s “Show Mode” booth. Call of Duty: Ghosts and Destiny will both be featured in the Activision booth, located in Hall 7.1 and Skylanders SWAP Force™ will be featured in SONY Computer Entertainment Deutschland booth, located in 7.1 in the Koelnmesse GmbH Exhibition Centre in Cologne, Germany from 21st – 25th August, 2013.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
Destiny is the game to see--rest I don't care about.
I think they going to promote the hell out of destiny also cause thats there next big thing. They have to know the COD is going to start to slow down and Destiny is there next big franchise for the next 10 years. So I'm sure we'll see and hear alot about Destiny.
Activision really needs some new IP's, the only one I want is DESTINY.
I hope they don't do to DESTINY like they have COD, that would piss me off.
