The article says that the "new" group is just mostly King (the developers of Candy Crush Saga) employees, and they will basically be working on Activision/Blizzard IP, it doesn't say anything about them working on general Microsoft IP. It is likely Activitions massive back catalogue may finally have some games make a comeback.
