This year has been home to one of the most exciting games lineups in Activision history. In September, we launched the biggest expansion to the Destiny universe to-date with Destiny: The Taken King, as well as Skylanders SuperChargers, which marked the introduction of an all new class of toys and gameplay with the addition of vehicles. Then, in October, we reintroduced the iconic Guitar Hero series with Guitar Hero Live. Finally, this Friday, November 6, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will arrive to fans around the world from the renowned team at Treyarch. But there’s more to come in the weeks and months ahead, starting with the first-ever qualifiers for the all-new Call of Duty World League in December.

Check out some of the highlights from the year (so far):

• On September 15, 2015, Activision Publishing and Bungie released The Taken King, the largest update to the Destiny universe yet, which was enthusiastically received by fans and critics alike. Day-one downloads broke PlayStation records, day-one engagement saw the highest number of active players in Destiny's history, daily player engagement is now well above 3 hours per day and the Destiny community has climbed to over 25 million registered players. Since its launch, Destiny has become the most watched console game on Twitch.
• Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remains the No. 1 game on next-generation consoles life-to-date, as it has been since its launch a year ago.¹
• On September 20, 2015, Activision Publishing released Skylanders SuperChargers, the next installment in the franchise with all new vehicles, action figures and exclusive Nintendo characters. Even with increased competition, SuperChargers is one of Skylanders' highest-rated entries to date and has strong engagement, with more toys per player than last year.

We also look forward to welcoming King Digital Entertainment and its incredible range of mobile games, including Candy Crush, Pet Rescue, and more, to our extended family. For more details about Activision Blizzard’s plans to acquire King, check out the announcement on ActivisionBlizzard.com.
