Koronavirus on vaikuttanut maailmaan monin tavoin. Activision Blizzard vakuuttaa kuitenkin, että kaikki sen projektit ovat edelleen raiteillaan tilanteesta huolimatta, ainakin toistaiseksi. Toimitusjohtaja Bobby Kotick paljasti asian CNBC:lle.
"Most of the things that we have in production and development are on track for now. I think we'll have to really reassess that in a month and in three months."
Toisin sanoen ainakin toistaiseksi kaikki hyvin sellaisilla peleillä kuin Call of Duty 2020, Overwatch 2 ja Diablo IV. Lisäksi Activision on rohkaissut henkilökuntaansa panostamaan etätyöhön, ja siinä tarvittaviin työkaluihin.
"We've been doing things like encouraging our employees to upgrade their home broadband to the highest bandwidth service and we're paying for that, we had equipment available for take home so everyone in the software development, art or animation functions, we made equipment available so they had the newest most secure devices, but I think it's still too early to know what the consequences [on] development will be for the next year or so."
