A Vicarious Visions insider was quoted as saying that they have been working alongside Blizzard for over a year prior to the announcement of the acquisition. Apart from the speculation (and derision) that Vicarious Visions would be working on World of Warcraft expansions, there were thoughts of the often-rumoured but never officially announced remake of Diablo II.Īccording to a report by Bloomberg, Vicarious could very well be leading the remake’s development.
You can watch the full Q&A in the video embedded above, but otherwise, we'll keep an eye out for more details about Diablo 2 Resurrected.Gamers were surprised earlier this month when Activision had decided to move Vicarious Visions, the creators of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 and Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy remakes, into a subsidiary of Blizzard Entertainment.
Furthermore, while there will be cross-progression – which means items, characters, and progress through the game will carry over from platform to platform – there isn't cross-play planned for the game right now. Other interesting tidbits about Diablo 2 Resurrected that were revealed during that Q&A session include the fact that D2R will be based on Diablo 2 version 1.14, which is the current live version of the game. That didn't sit well with many fans, so Blizzard is understandably looking to keep the original Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 Resurrected separate. Reforged replaced the original Warcraft 3 entirely, forcing players of the old version to update to the new client even if they hadn't purchased Warcraft 3 Reforged. That part about Diablo 2 Resurrected not overwriting original Diablo 2 installs might seem like a strange question to anyone who didn't witness the launch of Warcraft 3 Reforged at the beginning of 2020.
