A former CallofDuty level designer says that the team at Treyarch would 'daydream' about Xbox's proposed acquisition, and what it might mean for the series.

Heading into 2023, one of the biggest questions in the video game industry revolves around Microsoft's proposed purchase of Activision Blizzard. It remains to be seen whether the purchase will be approved, but former Call of Duty developer Jack Burrows recently provided some insight into the impact it's already had at Treyarch.

"Yeah, we would daydream about how it would affect the day-to-day. We would think about it and we would talk about it being like 'I wonder if this will change' or if you know 'this process won't be like that anymore,' or if we'll get more freedom to do whatever here and there or stuff like that," said Burrows.

There has been a lot of speculation that Microsoft could bring an end to Call of Duty's yearly release cycle, allowing more time between game releases. Burrows went on to point out that while it was fun to think about how things might change under Microsoft, he sees things mostly staying the same, should the deal go through, since the Call of Duty franchise"prints money."

Call of Duty fans won't know if the deal will go through until March 2023 at the earliest. That's when regulators in Europe will finish the second phase of their investigation into the proposed purchase. The commission's key concern is that Microsoft could"foreclose access to Activision Blizzard's console and PC video games," with the Call of Duty series specifically mentioned.
