Activision Blizzard has released a new infographic detailing the company's history from the start all the way to the most recent events. The promotion of this new graphic is a little interesting because it doesn't line up with any specific anniversary or event happening at the moment. Nor does it really promote anything special beyond the last item that the company is becoming a part of the Xbox line of studios. It feels a lot like the company has put this together and is steadily promoting itself of what it once was, currently is, and what it will be, as the acquisition becomes final. You can check it out along with more info from the company below.
