After shocking the industry with the acquisition of ZeniMax e Bethesda last September, Microsoft products is preparing to conclude the negotiation in the coming weeks and in these days he presented to the European Commission all documents defining this change of ownership between the two companies. Thanks to these purely bureaucratic processes, however, reference is made to many interesting details about this acquisition, including the foundation of a subsidiary company founded by Microsoft itself named "Vault"Which in effect will be the new owner of Bethesda and will act as an intermediary between the American multinational and the software houses that will be acquired in Xbox Game Studios.

In one of these documents, fully available in its entirety on the official website of the European Commission, reference is made several times to this subsidiary company, Vault precisely, which will be the real purchaser of ZeniMax, thus allowing these software houses to keep their working environments unchanged and continue to work under the same umbrella. In conclusion, Vault will be the link between Microsoft and Bethesda, allowing the two multinationals to maintain their corporate architecture, while respecting any type of legal term.

Obviously Vault is completely under the control of Microsoft, which remains the first and only owner of this subsidiary company, thus leaving the control of the Redmond giant over ZeniMax and the software houses that are part of it unchanged. In the coming months therefore this long acquisition process will end by Microsoft started last September, which will officially bring Bethesda under the hegemony of the American multinational, and once the transfer of ownership is concluded we will finally know how relations with the company will evolve. publication of new games also on rival consoles, that is PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, an aspect that has remained too nebulous in recent weeks and that should be solved as quickly as possible.
