For the second time, the European antimonopoly regulator has moved the date by which it should issue a verdict on the sale of Activision Blizzard to Microsoft. Now it’s April 25th.
Recall that immediately after the launch of an in-depth investigation of the transaction, the European Commission announced that it would make a decision by March 23, 2023. However, in mid-November last year, she postponed the deadline until April 11, 2023. The specific reasons for this were not officially disclosed.
What is the reason for the postponement to April 25, is also not reported.
