Needless to say, the Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda is still rocking the industry. Despite Starfield being confirmed as an Xbox exclusive and The Elder Scrolls 6 likely all but confirmed to be, fans keep debating everything that comes out of Bethesda. This isn’t likely going anywhere soon, especially with all the studios under Bethesda’s umbrella, but Microsoft isn’t stopping with Bethesda.

It’s a matter of when, not if, Microsoft acquires another name for its Xbox Game Studios. In fact, there have been several rumors thus far of Microsoft working on a new deal and of it being “acquisition season.” Sony has acquired a few studios over the past few months, but Microsoft has been oddly quiet. And that may be, according to a new rumor, because Microsoft is going big again.

Skullzi, a gaming news YouTuber, recently tweeted that he had heard “CRAZY RUMORS” about a potentially forthcoming acquisition. He went on to imply the online reaction would be huge, possibly even contentious, as he predicts “a lot of internet lawyers debating monopoly laws at some point in the near future.”

Some Xbox fans have taken a look at Skullzi’s tweet, which has been live for a matter of hours, and connected it to some other tweets from important Xbox community members and other notable reporters. For example, in a now-deleted but captured for posterity tweet from Xbox Social Media Manager Stein, he implies that his mind is blown with a fun .GIF after leaving a work meeting. This, and a couple of others, have been made in the past few days.

Notably, however, this is not evidence and everything about any new Microsoft acquisition should be taken with a grain of salt until it is confirmed by the company. It has acquired a lot of talent in recent years, and it’s likely the full strength of its acquisitions will come to the fore over the next couple of years. Adding on top of that doesn’t seem impossible.

Of course, the big question on everyone’s mind—assuming this rumor is true—is just what Microsoft is acquiring. Rumors suggest that it’s a juggernaut in the gaming space. Some have pointed to Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive, which is only fan speculation at this time, but that would indeed rival Bethesda's acquisition. Again, right now it’s just rumors and speculation, but once upon a time, no one ever would have thought Bethesda would be acquired. So, almost anything goes when it comes to Microsoft acquisitions.
