Before he leaves in 2024, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick suggests that Microsoft can help the company with further remakes.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy – Activision calls these remasters, but they’re hardly simple upscalings of the original PS1 games Now that Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is finally complete, everyone can stop debating if it will happen and start discussing what could come next for both companies. They are already promises to add Activision Blizzard games to Xbox Game Pass and make them more widely available on cloud streaming services and the Nintendo Switch.
Kotick also mentions how he thinks the implementation of AI will improve video games, saying, ‘It’s going to make the creation of things like art and animation better.’ AI created content remains extremely controversial and its usage in video games has come under fire for already costing people their jobs. Although Kotick is leaving Activision Blizzard in 2024, the company is believed to be at least experimenting with AI to replicate its own artwork, according to a patent.
