Moreover, the console brand assured the booth to be their biggest to date. Although the developers will take their time to give more official information on the booth, the news ignited fan theories.

Microsoft and the team have been going through a tough patch for the last few weeks. But after the legal warfare with the FTC, the company is very close to sealing the $69 billion Activision acquisition deal.
