After a year-long process, Microsoft has officially acquired gaming giant Activision Blizzard. This move has led to Microsoft owning a plethora of popular gaming franchises such as Call of Duty, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft. Amid the excitement, fans have started sharing their wishlists for the revival of various dormant games.

High on the list is the classic Guitar Hero, a fan-favorite music rhythm game that lets players strum along to rock songs on plastic guitars. This speculation gained momentum when Activision CEO Bobby Kotick teased the revival potential of the franchise at a recent company meeting. Xbox head Phil Spencer appears supportive, having mentioned in a previous interview that he's keen on revisiting abandoned Activision franchises like Guitar Hero.

DJ Hero, a spinoff from Guitar Hero, is another game fans are hoping to see revived. Fans are also showing support for the '90s shooter game Hexen, especially after Phil Spencer donned a Hexen shirt at an Xbox event in June.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, which recently had a remake for the first two games, is another franchise that fans want Microsoft to bring back. They're hoping that with the newfound leverage, Xbox may explore reviving these franchises and potentially add previous entries to its subscription service, Xbox Game Pass.

Some fans are even calling for a sequel to The Movies, a 2005 business simulation game. Despite these hopes, it is crucial to remember that these are wishlists and potential game revivals may not materialize. Fans will need to wait and see what happens as the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard merger unfolds.
