License Global's April issue puts the spotlight on the rapidly expanding gaming industry. In our cover story, John Friend, Head of Halo and Xbox Consumer Products, speaks exclusively to License Global about next-gen consoles, maintaining a fandom after nearly two decades and the return of "Halo."

Anniversaries are big in the April issue with SEGA's plans to mark the anniversary of "Sonic the Hedgehog" and Activision Blizzard celebrating both "Call of Duty" success and Blizzard's 30th anniversary. Also in this issue is how "Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout" became gaming's wholesome hero, Hasbro's studio acquisition and pipeline of new products and Games Workshop on the expanding universe of "Warhammer." 

In addition, License Global looks at the upcoming movies, TV and streaming built for video game fans and its robust product drops.
