Vicarious Visions, the development team behind Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 and the Skylanders series, has merged with Blizzard Entertainment.
Having previously developed the aforementioned Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 and Crash N. Sane Trilogy, Vicarious Visions’ has most recently worked on Diablo II: Resurrected under Blizzard. This merger effectively means that Vicarious will no longer develop its own projects and will, instead, act as a supporting studio for Blizzard properties.
The team made the announcement via Twitter, stating that they will continue to work from their studio in Albany, New York, but will no longer exist as Vicarious Visions.
We've officially merged with Blizzard Entertainment. Our development team will remain in Albany, NY and fully dedicated to Blizzard games. We invite you to follow us @Blizzard_Ent

Vicarious first opened its doors back in 1991, giving the studio a history that spans back over 30 years. There has been no word on what projects the team will be directly working on at this stage.
