The fair value of acquisition-related intangible assets acquired in the Codemasters acquisition was $293 million, of which $219 million was allocated to developed and core technology, $47 million was allocated to in-process research and development, and $27 million was allocated to trade names and trademarks. In-process research and development assets are considered indefinite-lived until complete. Excluding the in-process research and development assets, the weighted-average useful life of the Codemasters’ acquired intangible assets was approximately 3.8 years.
Amortization of intangibles for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (in millions):

There were no impairment charges for acquisition-related intangible assets during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Acquisition-related intangible assets are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the agreement terms, currently from 2 to 6 years. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the weighted-average remaining useful life for acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately 3.5 and 2.4 years, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021, future amortization of finite-lived acquisition-related intangibles that will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is estimated as follows (in millions):
