Other well-known games owned by the franchise are Overwatch, World of Warcraft and Crash Bandicoot.
Activision-Blizzard has been rocked by allegations of workplace sexual harassment in recent months.
The tech giant's gaming chief Phil Spencer says he is keen to get to work with the "amazing, talented, dedicated" people at Activision-Blizzard.
