Pick up my sci-fi novels Herokiller and Herokiller 2, and read my first series, The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. Perhaps with Vicarious Visions on board, that will start to change, we can hope.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Blizzard has been exceptionally silent in general for a long while now. The same goes for the full release of Diablo Immortal, now in alpha, Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2. Like with all Blizzard projects, we currently have no timeline for the Diablo 2 remake’s arrival, which VV has already been working on for some time. One of the most dramatic updates in Diablo 2: Resurrected is remastered versions of the game’s cinematics, which follow the originals frame for frame, but in high resolution that brings out details you never noticed before. As for how Vicarious Visions is feeling about this, we have no idea, as the developer has not tweeted since the news was first reported in yesterday. Though with how hollowed-out Blizzard has seemed to be lately, perhaps this is the emergency blood infusion they need.

But I think the main point is that after all the work Vicarious Visions has done for Activision over the years, they deserved better than to be a perma-Blizzard support studio and probably should have been given entire projects and IPs to themselves.
