Following the news we brought you last week regarding the resignation and reappointment of Activision Blizzard's CFO, Thomas Tippl, the fact that the company has now confirmed a restructuring comes as little surprise.
According to the LA Times, the company, "has divided itself into four units, with one focused on the military video game Call of Duty, another handling other internally owned properties such as Guitar Hero and the Tony Hawk skateboarding games, and a third handling licensed properties. Blizzard Entertainment, maker of the successful online game World of Warcraft, remains an independent unit."
As well as this, "A new unit that will oversee all licensed games is being led by Dave Oxford, head of the company's Minneapolis office that previously oversaw low-budget 'value' titles." Think Marvel games here.

Marvel Titles? I assumed these would be developed by Disney soon. Too soon to go building a business unit around them now.
