A few days separate us from the entry of Activision Blizzard into the Xbox Studios group after a long battle that we thought would fail at some point. But the head of Xbox seems to be confident in the success of this agreement for more than a month.

Phil Spencer He has a wonderful way of hinting at what’s coming without much thought, and often drops these hints without addressing them. One such hint was his one-off appearance at the Xbox event that took place last month, where Spencer showed up wearing a t-shirt with the name of one of the old classic games HeXen written on it, as you can see in the image below.

Perhaps many of us, even analysts and observers, did not pay attention to this shirt and the name that was written on it at the time, since the game is old and is not in the memory of many. But if we want to go back in history, HeXen is a first-person shooter that was released for home platforms and PC in 1995. But what is the secret of Spencer wearing a shirt with the game's logo?

The HeXen game is developed by Raven Software studio published by id Software, is the picture starting to get complete for you? Yes, Raven Software is one of the Activision studios, which is now owned by Microsoft. While id Software is among the ZiniMax companies that are now owned by Microsoft. It is the same as bringing together the two parties under one wing, which is now Microsoft.

This is a deep and clever hint from the Xbox boss about how he is confident that Raven Software will soon be part of Xbox Studios, and that is what has already happened now.

However, perhaps this hint doesn't stop at proving Spencer's confidence in the success of the business, and there may be a plan to revive the HeXen game again in conjunction with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the game will be among the prominent titles that Game Pass subscribers will receive from day one, exclusively on Xbox platforms in the future.
