Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside Activision Blizzard President and COO, Daniel Alegre, made it clear in a recent interview that the company will be investing heavily in mobile gaming for both existing and new franchises.

At the last Blizzcon an announcement for Diablo Immortal, a mobile game, was infamously received by Blizzard’s most devoted fans with boos and heckling. In addition to the mobile market, it appears Blizzard will be making a stronger play to market its games overseas in Asia and specifically China. Of course, a hit on mobile in China would generate massive revenue for the company but will this new focus affect Activision Blizzard’s core franchises negatively?
