The U.S. Federal Trade Commission will file an injunction blocking Microsoft Corp's acquisition of Activision Blizzard , a source familiar with a planned court filing said on Monday.

The judge overseeing the case in the Northern District of California would need to approve the order.

"We welcome the opportunity to present our case in federal court," said Microsoft president Brad Smith in a statement. Microsoft has said the deal would benefit gamers and gaming companies alike, offering to sign a legally binding consent decree with the FTC to provide "Call of Duty" games to rivals including Sony for a decade.

The case reflects the muscular approach to antitrust enforcement taken by the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden. But antitrust experts say the FTC faces an uphill battle to convince a judge to block the deal, because of the voluntary concessions offered by Microsoft to allay fears it could dominate the gaming market.
