On Friday, game publisher Activision announced it was merging one of its oldest support studios into Blizzard. Vicarious Visions 200-member team all now work for Blizzard, where they will be "fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives." The studio has worked on titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remasters. The company will still be working out of Albany, New York.
One project the former studio will be working on is the remaster of Diablo 2, which is being called Diablo 2: Resurrected. That team is also expected to assist with Blizzard projects like World of Warcraft and Overwatch.
