Diablo II remake Vicarious Visions Blizzard

Secondary Visions, the studio apartment newly merged with Rash, is practical connected a redo of Diablo II, according to a report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.

The report states that the remake was primitively being headed by Blizzard's Squad 1, which handled last year's Warcraft III: Reforged. However, in the wake of that game's poor reception and an intragroup post-mortem, that see was reassigned to the division behind Diablo IV, with support from Vicarious Visions. The post-mortem highlighted communicating problems and financial pressure from direction among the reasons for the problems with Reforged, which included distributed complaints about fundamental study issues and poorly regarded changes to the visual design of the 2002 original.

Just how long the Diablo II remake has been in development under the new team is unclear, as Blizzard's official affirmation did not acknowledge the project and only explicit that the developer and Vicarious Visions have been working together "for some clock time." Nonetheless, Schreier's report notes that Blizzard's Team up 1 was announced to be reorganized — or in effect exclude Down — with to the highest degree staff either being placed elsewhere within Blizzard or departing the fellowship altogether. Some reportedly went to joint former Blizzard alumni at Dreamhaven and Frost Giant Studios.

Exchangeable Visions has expertise with developing high-quality remakes, having recently worked connected Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Tony Mortarboard's Pro Skater 1 and 2.
