Vicarious Visions was founded in 1991 by brothers Karthik and Guha Bala, and sold the studio to Activision in 2005. Since then, developer Vicarious Visions has been working on ports for titles such as Ultimate Spider-Man, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi. Academy.
The studio is best known for the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2, and for supporting Diablo II: Resurrected last September.
While this means that the former Vicarious won't be releasing a non-Blizzard title, it's interesting to see how his support helps in the current project.
In January, Microsoft announced its intention to acquire Activision Blizzard in a $68.7 billion deal that would face regulatory scrutiny with the Federal Trade Commission.
