Activision has announced (via a report on Gamesindustry.biz) that Albany game studio Vicarious Visions is now a subsidiary of Blizzard Entertainment.
Simon Ebejer, former Vicarious Visions chief operating officer, is now Vicarious Visions’ studio head.
This means that Vicarious Visions’ swan song as a non-Blizzard developer will Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, a robust remake of the first two Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games.
Longtime game developers may recall that Vicarious Visions won two Independent Games Festival awards in 1999 for its space flight role-playing game Terminus.
