WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department filed an antitrust complaint against Activision Blizzard on Monday, according to a court filing.
The complaint was not immediately available on the docket.
The Federal Trade Commission, which works with the Justice Department to enforce antitrust law, moved to block Microsoft's $69 billion bid to buy "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard in December.
