Activision Blizzard said they are still working on a mid-cycle update and have yet to notify employees. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick withheld a summary report of the incident, people familiar with the matter said. The report, which was originally scheduled to be released before the winter break, told people that the reality of the matter was more serious than the outside world knew.

“Interim updates are still in the works, and the company remains committed to continuing to provide regular updates on the progress of this matter,” the company said in a statement. Activision Blizzard has reportedly collected a total of 700 reports of concerns about misconduct and other issues since last July when a California agency sued the company over allegations of harassment.

Activision Blizzard disputed the figure but did not provide further information. “While each case involved multiple people, there were not as many as 700 reports of misconduct,” a company spokesman said.

Activision Blizzard says the company values ​​every report, whether it’s a comment on the company’s culture, an incident report or a suggestion for improvement.
