Maybe they could make an action game like Devil May Cry but with something like a rhythm game element to it. Do they have any existing IP that that could fit? Or a team that could make it?

Best I can do is Overwatch themed Candy Crush.

The article says that the "new" group is just mostly King (the developers of Candy Crush Saga) employees, and they will basically be working on Activision/Blizzard IP, it doesn't say anything about them working on general Microsoft IP. It is likely Activitions massive back catalogue may finally have some games make a comeback.

I know. I was being facetious. What this headline actually gives me hope for is a new Metal Arms, but I need to temper my expectations.

Hifi rush. Youre looking for hifi rush.

Pretty sure that’s the joke.

This... is actually kind of exciting. Two massive studios (potentially) showing they also feel that the current AAA space is saturated with boring, soulless, samey games, year after year.

That's a naive take. Microsoft saw that there is money to make in AA games, so they want in on the action.

If they didn't think that AA games could increase their profits, they wouldn't do it.

That's a ~~naive~~ optimistic take.

Make StarCraft Ghost please.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Make StarCraft 1 again...but like the same thing but different ya know? Kinda like just give me a pill to forget about StarCraft so I can replay it and disassociate for a while.

Maybe we'll get a new Lost Vikings?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Oooo. Is this by any chance the ghost of vicarious visions coming back?

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I just want Warcraft 4.

New Banjo Kazooie please
