According to some reports games such as 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, Brutal Legend, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, World in Conflict: Soviet Assault, WET and Ghostbusters: The Videogame were all on the way out and the future of the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Ice Age and Prototype was still up in the air.
But Activision Publishing says it will continue to support the Vivendi Games' catalogue including The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which was launched only days ago.
Additionally, Activision Publishing also announced that the company intends to "adapt the Vivendi Games' studio operations to better align the studio structure against the new product slate. The company will realign staffing at Radical Entertainment and High Moon Studios and is exploring options regarding Massive Entertainment and Swordfish Studios, including the possibility of divestiture".
But more worrying is the announcement that the company also is "evaluating options regarding two non-strategic business units Vivendi Games Mobile and Sierra Online", which provides casual games for the PC and Xbox Live Marketplace, including the "possibility of divesting these business units".
