Activision-Blizzard lays off 775 people after “record results in 2018”

While Destiny 2 did not perform up to expectations, that move likely left many in marketing and other areas at Activision without a major franchise to work on. In the future, Kotick said Activision-Blizzard will invest primarily in live services, Battle.net, and esports, with a focus on the following franchises: Candy Crush, Call of Duty, Overwatch, Warcraft, Diablo, and Hearthstone. But it’s notable that the majority of the franchises Kotick said the company plans to focus on are under the Blizzard umbrella, not Activision.
