Blizzard is uitgegroeid tot een van Microsofts sterkste gamepresteerders en sluit boekjaar 26 af als de best presterende studio binnen de studio-divisie van XBOX, na jaren van wisselvallige resultaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blizzard-president Johanna Faries vertelde medewerkers dat boekjaar 26 het op twee na hoogste boekjaar ooit was voor de bruto-omzet van het bedrijf. Boekjaar 25 en 26 waren bovendien de eerste opeenvolgende groeijaren voor Blizzard sinds boekjaar 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De resultaten vallen op omdat de totale omzet van XBOX in het boekjaar met 11% daalde<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diablo en Overwatch stuwen de groei van Blizzard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred en Overwatch behoorden tot de grootste bijdragers aan de prestaties van Blizzard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overwatch boekte het sterkste kwartaal sinds 2022, geholpen door een grotere focus op feedback van de community en een gestage stroom nieuwe content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diablo is ook verbeterd, met name door wijzigingen in de endgame-systemen en de Lord of Hatred-uitbreiding. Ondertussen ontvangt World of Warcraft content in een constanter tempo, hoewel er zorgen blijven over het schrijfwerk en de afwerking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blizzard plant verdere investeringen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Faries zei dat de sterkere financi\u00eble positie van Blizzard het bedrijf in staat stelt meer te investeren in zijn games, medewerkers en toekomstige initiatieven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zij omschreef de recente groei als momentum dat kan helpen om het volgende tijdperk van Blizzard vorm te geven, vooral nu de studio concurreert met grote live-serviceplatforms zoals Fortnite en Roblox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blizzard valt op terwijl XBOX kosten bespaart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

De prestaties van Blizzard komen in een moeilijkere periode voor de bredere gameactiviteiten van Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft heeft al ontslagen doorgevoerd binnen zijn gameorganisatie, waarbij verschillende XBOX-studio’s zijn getroffen, en naar verluidt worden er nog meer inkrimpingen verwacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XBOX heeft ook kritiek gekregen op zijn afhankelijkheid van grote franchises zoals Call of Duty, Minecraft en Candy Crush. Microsoft heeft de zwakte in zijn consolebusiness erkend, terwijl de aankomende XBOX-CEO Asha Sharma zich naar verwachting zal richten op het verbeteren van dat onderdeel van het bedrijf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ondanks die uitdagingen blijft Microsoft ervan overtuigd dat XBOX weer zal gaan groeien, waarbij Blizzard nu goed gepositioneerd is om een belangrijke rol te spelen in dat herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
