Microsoft is continuing to reorganize its Xbox division, and reports indicate that several developers, including Rare and Halo Studios, are now under the supervision of Activision. This restructuring comes as Microsoft celebrates the 24th anniversary of its acquisition of Rare, a move that was initially viewed as a major boost for the Xbox brand. However, the results for Rare have been mixed, with early Xbox titles like Grabbed By The Ghoulies, Kameo: Elements Of Power, and Perfect Dark Zero receiving only average reviews. Viva Piñata, another Rare title, was considered more suited to the Wii console than the Xbox. Since Rare was no longer required to develop games for Kinect, its only major success has been Sea Of Thieves. There are currently no signs of new projects from the studio. Activision, known for effectively managing developers, has also taken over the management of Halo and Age Of Empires. Some observers believe that Activision's oversight could lead to more consistent game releases, given their history of producing yearly titles like Call Of Duty. However, there are concerns that Rare and other studios might be relegated to the role of support studios under Activision, focusing on routine tasks rather than creative development. Additionally, there are rumors that Microsoft might be preparing to sell off Activision and Bethesda as a combined entity, potentially making the sale easier by bundling them together. The success of this restructuring will depend on how well Microsoft employees have integrated into Activision and whether Activision maintains its current operational structure. The outcome could have significant implications for the future of game development under both companies.
