Last month a major shakeup to the AAA gaming landscape was teased, as a report emerged that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment may be on the auction block. At the time Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive, and Activision Blizzard were listed as possible buyers, but apparently, a new player has entered the fray – Microsoft.

This report comes courtesy of subscription tech site The Information, which doesn’t provide much detail, beyond Microsoft joining the lineup of interested parties. That said, Microsoft snapping up the Warner Bros. Interactive would certainly make sense – Sony has invested heavily in Spider-Man, so Microsoft locking down Batman and other DC characters would be a smart move. Take this all with a grain of salt for now, as the WB Interactive sale is reportedly still in the very early stages and might not go ahead at all, but it sure seems likely somebody’s going to end up buying the publisher. Whether that ends up being Microsoft, well, we’ll just have to wait and see.
