In the years that followed, the studio would be put to work on Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Skylanders, and support work on Destiny 2 back when Bungie was still cashing a paycheque from the house of Bobby Kotick. Founded in 1990, Vicarious Visions would make a name for itself as a leading developer of handheld games, with Activision eventually rocking up to its front door in 2005 with a fat sack of acquisition cash.
It’s the end of an era for one of gaming’s most consistently excellent studios. Activision confirmed to GI.Biz that the studio and its team of around 200 employees are being absorbed into Blizzard and will be “fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives.” Will Vicarious Visions get to keep its name in the wake of this shake-up? Who knows, but I’m betting fifty bucks that it’ll be renamed to Blizzard Albany or Blizzard New York since it’s not changing working locations.Īfter collaborating with Vicarious Visions for some time and developing a great relationship, Blizzard realized there was an opportunity for to provide long-term support.
Vicarious Visions, the studio behind some of the best remasters of recent memory and plenty of other great games, just experienced a major paradigm shift.
