The UK CMA has temporarily forbidden Microsoft and Activision from acquiring a stake in each other through an interim order published today.
Parcae’s Fate Studio-developed open-world action game Unending Dawn has joined Sony Interactive Entertainment‘s China Hero Project incubation program, the companies announce. As previously announced, it will be available PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android.
CangMo Game Entertainment-developed action RPG Project: Jinyiwei has joined Sony Interactive Entertainment‘s China Hero Project incubation program, the companies announced. It will be available for PlayStation 5.
ChillyRoom has announced Loulan, a single-player action adventure game coming as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s China Hero Project incubation program. It will be available for PlayStation 5.
It sounds like the CMA are closing the options for backdoor dealing between Microsoft and Activision.
The CMA is not joking around.
The CMA have to follow through now, if they let the deal go through they will be too weak to do much going forward.

It's nice to have someone looking out for gamers against the MS buyout of the industry... I hope it lasts as MS has unlimited funds to screw over the gaming community and are no doubt already looking at other publishers to lock away.
