Following approval from the EU yesterday (thanks jfreund) for the $7.5 billion acquisition, Microsoft has today announced that they now own ZeniMax.
Officially Welcoming Bethesda to Team Xbox
As said in the press release, included in the sale are:
Bethesda Game Studios
id Software
ZeniMax Online Studios
Arkane
Machine Games
Tango Gameworks
Alpha Dog Games
Roundhouse Studios
This acquisition seems to bring Microsoft's total number of game studios to 23.
I'm hoping for another Obsidian Fallout, and more regular title releases for Bethesda IPs. Maybe Microsoft will have multiple studios contribute to future TES and Fallout games to get them released more regularly.
Officially Welcoming Bethesda to Team Xbox
This is an exciting day for Xbox. Today we officially complete the acquisition of ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks. It’s an honor to welcome the eight incredibly talented development studios – Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios – and their passionate global communities to the Xbox family. Now that everything is official, we can begin working together to deliver more great games to everyone. At every step building toward this moment, I’ve been inspired and motivated by the creativity, insight, and community-first approach of the talented people at Bethesda. Our goal is to give these teams the best foundation for doing their greatest work and to learn from them as we continue to build Xbox into an inclusive platform for all players.
