The U.S. Federal Trade Commission will file an injunction blocking Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT.O) acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI.O), a source familiar with a planned court filing said on Monday.
Microsoft is seeking to acquire the “Call of Duty” videogame maker in a $69 billion deal.
The EU approved the Activision deal in May, but British competition authorities blocked the takeover in April.
