    Microsoft and ZeniMax: US commission accepts acquisition

    After having also passed the same proposal to the scrutiny of the European Commission, today the confirmation has arrived that the "Securities and Exchange Commission"(Commission for Securities and Exchanges, ed.) Of the United States has officially approved the acquisition of ZeniMax by Microsoft products. The deal worth more than seven billion dollars had already been confirmed last September, but only now all the bureaucratic issues are starting to be resolved and we will soon be able to see the official status of this multi-billion dollar operation.



    during the day of today 5 March the Commission for Securities and Exchanges sent a notification to the Redmond giant confirming the acceptance of the purchase proposal that the multinational had made towards Bethesda Softworks and its parent company ZeniMax. At the moment, what is missing for the final formalization of this long operation is the confirmation by the European Commission, which could also arrive much earlier than expected, even by the end of the current week. This long operation could therefore come to an end very soon, after several bureaucratic waits and the creation of the subsidiary company Vault which, to obtain the approval of the European Union, will acquire the company personally and will act as a link between Microsoft and ZeniMax.

    In short, after the excellent promises made by Phil Spencer and Todd Howard in recent months, they will therefore finally be able to reach their climax with the official confirmation of this gigantic acquisition operation by Microsoft, which has completely shaken the market and is continuing to do so too. in the last few weeks. For now, only confirmation from the European Commission is missing and this long operation will finally come to its conclusion, so that the studies within ZeniMax will be able to focus only on their projects, which we remember include interesting and important titles, such as Starfield or the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls VI.
