Activision Unveils New Studio Working on ‘Narrative AAA Franchise’
Activision has formed an all-new internal studio known as Elsewhere Entertainment. The just-unveiled Elsewhere Entertainment Studio has access to Activision’s resources and tools.
Microsoft just recently made headlines with its dramatic decision to terminate some of its game studios. Shockingly, some of the game studios have exemplary records of developing story-driven games.
The abrupt termination of Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games, and Arkane Austin shocked many players, considering the success of some games released by these studios.

Interestingly, Elsewhere Entertainment won’t be Microsoft’s studio. It has been known to operate independently from Microsoft despite the merger.
The new studio launched, therefore, has no direct link to Microsoft and its recent shutdowns of game studios.
