Activision at Comic-Con 2012
Activision Blizzard Inc.(ATVI) is set to display some of its upcoming titles at the San Diego Comic-Con International 2012, scheduled on July 14, 2012. At the event, gamers will have the opportunity to interact with the developers and the people associated with Activision’s upcoming titles. The titles included in the event are TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON, the new Bond game 007 Legends and The Walking Dead.
Moreover, the event would feature The Amazing Spider-Man game, which is an epilogue of the namesake movie. The game features Web Rush mechanic technology, which allows players to show a host of new moves in the game.
Gamers will get to watch the demo version of TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON, where they can create their own characters and fight as AUTOBOT or DECEPTICON and take control of CYBERTRON, the war-torn home of the transformers. Activision will also showcase trailers of the James Bond game – 007 Legends. The game features five classic Bond adventures and a sixth mission, which will be seen in the upcoming Bond movie-SKYFALL.
The Walking Dead is based on AMC Network’s popular television show bearing the same title. Set in the zombie-infested Georgian countryside, the new game is based on the adventures of two brothers on their way to Atlanta. Apart from the protagonist, the new game features a host of new characters who are either friend or foe and players have to carefully select them as companions. Further, players are also required to manage scarce resources in order to survive the zombie attacks along their way to safety.
Looking at Activisions’ portfolio of games, it is evident that the company is set for a strong 2012. Most importantly, Activision’s foray into the mobile gaming market is expected to be a long-term positive.
However, the softness in the video game industry and increasing competition from Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (TTWO) remains a concern. Moreover, overdependence on the old franchises, particularly on Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, are the other headwinds going forward.
We have a Neutral recommendation on Activision in the long term. Currently, Activision Blizzard has a Zacks #3 Rank, which implies a Hold rating in the short term.

Microsoft to buy Activision and Call Of Duty?
Microsoft and Warner Bros. are believed to be amongst the front runners to acquire a controlling stake in Activision Blizzard, giving the buyer complete control of franchises such as Call Of Duty and World Of Warcraft.
French media giant Vivendi are the former owners of World Of Warcraft makers Blizzard, and after merging its subsidiary Vivendi Games (which includes Blizzard) with Activision in 2008 they now have a 60 per cent stake in the resultant new company Activision Blizzard.
But according to Reuters and other business sources they’re looking to sell off that stake in order to lessen their companywide debts.
‘It’s nothing official yet, but they’ve asked a bank to go and talk to possible buyers for Activision,’ claims a Reuters source.
At a net worth of around $10 billion there’s not many companies that could afford Activision Blizzard, but Time Warner (who now has their own successful video games division) and Microsoft are rumoured to have been contacted.If Microsoft did buy out Vivendi then that would instantly make Call Of Duty an Xbox (and PC) exclusive, as well as giving them full control of lucrative franchises such as World Of Warcraft, Skylanders, and Diablo. Ironically, it would also make them the publishers of Bungie’s next game – despite Bungie having left Microsoft in order to go independent again.
Private equity firms KKR, Providence, and Blackstone are also apparently interested, but the most likely suitor is thought to be Chinese publisher Tencent.
Only last week Activision and Tencent announced a partnership to publish Call Of Duty Online in China, at a press event at which both Bobby Kotick and the boss of Tencent were present – two figures who are rarely seen in public.
Officially none of the parties are confirming or denying anything, although Vivendi has said that ‘every option is on the table’.Read more: http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/904866-microsoft-to-buy-activision-and-call-of-duty#ixzz20KjDRwCg
