gameleirabh Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015By Microsoft Corporate Blogs Today, we are proud to announce that Microsoft has acquired Havok, the leading provider of 3D physics, from Intel. As we welcome Havok to the Microsoft family, we will continue to work with developers to create great gaming experiences, and continue to license Havok’s development tools to partners. We believe that Havok is a fantastic addition to Microsoft’s existing tools and platform components for developers, including DirectX 12, Visual Studio and Microsoft Azure. Havok is an amazing technology supplier in the games industry and the leading real-time physics creator. We saw an opportunity to acquire Havok to deliver great experiences for our fans. Throughout the company’s history, they’ve partnered with Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and many others to create more than 600 games including Halo, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, Destiny, Dark Souls and The Elder Scrolls. Microsoft’s acquisition of Havok continues our tradition of empowering developers by providing them with the tools to unleash their creativity to the world. We will continue to innovate for the benefit of development partners. Part of this innovation will include building the most complete cloud service, which we’ve just started to show through games like “Crackdown 3.” Havok shares Microsoft’s vision for empowering people to create worlds and experiences that have never been seen before, and we look forward to sharing more of this vision in the near future.

aim4it Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Maybe this will drive more devs to use Nvidia's PhysX lol, but I doubt it.
...0... Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Right MS is like EA they buy out a company then destroy it good bye havok hehe.
Guest ...failure Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Right MS is like EA they buy out a company then destroy it good bye havok hehe. Sadly true
Guest Mogie56 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Well EA gets rid of anything they acquire. but with MS, I would think they are either going to use it or they have something of there own and like most businesses don't want the competition. either way if you have it keep it otherwise they will probably start charging for it's download or make it unavailable to the general public..
