It’s only been around two days since the industry breaking news\u00a0confirmed\u00a0that Microsoft purchased Zenimax Media<\/a>, the parent company of numerous developers including Bethesda Softworks. With the entire gaming community still shocked by the surprise announcement, it seems Microsoft is already planning ahead.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0numerous figures\u00a0in some way linked\u00a0to\u00a0either company comment on the reported $7.5 billion purchase,\u00a0one major\u00a0individual has spoken up on the future of Microsoft<\/a> with regards to\u00a0studio expansions. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has made his first public comments regarding the acquisition and gives indication that this may only be the start of bigger purchases.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Cnet, Nadella spoke about the significance and importance of content tied to the Xbox brand which includes Game Pass. The CEO explains that it is content that allows for greater access to communities, a sentiment shared by the Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer. With this said, Nadella explained that despite the massive deal, there is always more content. Nadella stated that Microsoft will “always look for places where there is that commonality of purpose, mission and culture.” He further elaborated that Microsoft is always looking for new ways to expand “inorganically where it makes sense.” The use of “inorganically” speaks directly to acquisitions of developers and properties instead of a building studio approach which Nadella comments on earlier within the interview.<\/p>\n

While the Zenimax purchase is one of the biggest within the entire industry, it follows a steady trend of Microsoft building its studio portfolio. Before Zenimax, Microsoft had purchased developers like Double Fine and Obsidian Entertainment, the latter actually being the developer on Fallout: New Vegas<\/em> as published by Bethesda.\u00a0Rumors of Microsoft’s deeper push for developer acquisition<\/a> appeared in early August as comments were made in financial reports about studio expansion.<\/p>\n

The announcement has continued to send ripples across the industry as developers and publishers come to terms with the massive shakeup. Numerous questions arose once the acquisition was announced with gamers pondering the fate of\u00a0Sony’s console exclusive Bethesda published titles like Deathloop<\/em> and Ghostwire Tokyo<\/em>. Microsoft later confirmed it would uphold those deals<\/a>\u00a0for any PlayStation 5 exclusives.<\/p>\n

As for the lingering concerns gamers have about exclusivity going forward, Microsoft did provide a vague response to the swirling questions. Microsoft stated that Bethesda titles will be on other consoles on a “case by case basis,”<\/a>\u00a0which has left more questions than answers.\u00a0With gamers\u00a0knowing that Microsoft is always on the lookout for new studios, it should make for\u00a0a more interesting console generation.<\/p>\n
