The U.K. competition regulator on Friday said it is extending the deadline for its review of Microsoft's takeover of video game publisher of Activision Blizzard by six weeks.

The extension will give the watchdog more time to review proposals by the two parties to resolve its concerns after it paused a campaign to block the deal.
