While its action RPG experience is limited to a couple of Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends remakes over a decade ago, it could thrive under BlizzardвЂ™s tutelage, and has recent relevant experience working as a support team for Bungie on Destiny 2.

Sane Trilogy and the note-perfect Tony HawkвЂ™s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake. In recent years it's focussed almost exclusively on next-and-current-gen remakes, bringing together the delightful Crash Bandicoot N. It has long-standing pedigree for remaking and reworking existing games, dating back to the magic it worked bringing the likes of Tony HawkвЂ™s Pro Skateboarding and Jet Set Radio to the Game Boy Advance. While the reduced autonomy of a once-powerhouse studio like BlizzardвЂ™s seems troubling, the newly-merged Vicarious Visions may be the perfect team for the job. Now, with Team 1 gone, Activision has brought in its former subsidiary Vicarious Visions, merging it with the development operations of Blizzard, and ( as we reported last year) apparently tasking it with taking on the Diablo 2 mantle.

Instead, it disbanded Team 1 (which had already been pulled off ongoing StarCraft 2 development, and had seen its hero-shooter Heroes of the Storm fade to obscurity). Team 1 had been tasked also with reviving Diablo 2, but a Bloomberg report suggests that BlizzardвЂ™s owners Activision got cold feet following Warcraft 3: ReforgedвЂ™s reception. It currently sits among the worst user-rated games on score aggregator MetaCritic. But its release in 2020 was not well received, with missing features and problematic terms and conditions putting off what should have been a thriving map-making and modding community. BlizzardвЂ™s вЂTeam 1вЂ™ development team had been working on the real-time strategy remaster, another beloved game. To understand why the announcement took so long, we first need to discuss another Blizzard remake вЂ“ Warcraft 3: Reforged. However, BlizzCon 2021 finally confirmed the game is coming this year, and that Diablo 2: Resurrected will be available on every platform you could hope for. Rumors of a Diablo 2 remaster have been circulating for years вЂ“ many hoped that it would coincide with the games 20th anniversary in 2020, but that came and went with Blizzard focusing on Diablo 4 and the Diablo: Immortal mobile game instead.
