Activision Blizzard (or ABK, inclusive of mobile developer King) has had a rough year, but as the company's pending acquisition by Microsoft continues to wind its way through the regulatory process, one game has been announced to release before any such deal could come to fruition: Overwatch 2.

The only issue? Overwatch 2 isn't actually releasing. At least not in the way we usually think.

The Company could always use more revenues...in Virtual Legality.
