Solid Product Portfolio to Aid the Top Line

Activision Blizzard has a strong gaming portfolio with a number of blockbuster games and exciting franchises like Call of Duty, Candy Crush, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft.

The company’s recent release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s new season named Operation Dark Divide, exclusively for PlayStation 4 users, marks a step toward strengthening its portfolio.

Further, the company has recently partnered with Tencent (OTC:TCEHY) to bring Call of Duty to the mobile platform.
