With Microsoft’s blockbuster $68.7 billion deal to acquire Activision Blizzard reportedly looking to close this Friday, October 13, the Call of Duty company reportedly held an all-hands meeting this week where CEO Bobby Kotick discussed his vision for the future of video games. According to Windows Central, Activision Blizzard hired late night TV host and actor James Corden to host.
As reported by Windows Central, Kotick–who is expected to leave Activision Blizzard if the deal closes–discussed his company’s legacy from its independent early days to becoming the behemoth that it is today.
Discussing the future, Kotick reportedly said Elon Musk’s Neuralink–which is an implantable brain-computer interface–could be a way to create “more visceral” content than what’s currently available. In the future, people might be able to play games without a controller by way of Neuralink, or an earpiece or headset of some type, Kotick is reported to have said.
