Microsoft will appeal the decision to block its $68.7 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard.
The U.K. regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority, will hold a hearing on the matter on July 24th.
An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for August 2nd.
This comes just a week or so after Microsoft’s appeal hearing starts in the U.S.FTC sued to block Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard purchase last year, and that investigation is still ongoing.
Redmond is focusing on the CMA finding that the deal threatens competition in the cloud gaming market because of concerns about cloud gaming concerns.
With Microsoft starting its appeal process in the UK, its attention will also turn closer to home: the FTC has been investigating the deal as well.
