Call of Duty will remain on Playstation

Call of Duty will remain on Playstation, Microsoft bosses have said, following news that the tech giant will buy games company Activision Blizzard.

According to foreign media, Telegrafi reports, the deal worth 68.7 billion dollars had raised questions about the future of the franchise of such games, which is a huge success on both PlayStation and Xbox.

And Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer tweeted Thursday that the game would have a future on Sony platforms.

"I had good calls this week with executives at Sony."

"I have confirmed our intention to honor all existing agreements following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."

He added: "Sony is an important part of our industry and we value our relationship."

The move – the largest acquisition in Microsoft's history, which is expected to be finalized in 2023 – means the company will take ownership of game franchises such as Call of Duty, Warcraft and Overwatch.

Call of Duty launched in 2003, initially focusing on games set in World War II, but has since moved into Cold War, 1980s, futuristic and space worlds. /Telegraph/
