# Vicarious Visions

Vicarious Visions è una software house statunitense fondata dai fratelli Karthik e Guha Bala nel 1994, che ha sviluppato alcuni videogiochi per PC e Game Boy Color a partire dalla fine degli anni novanta.

I primi titoli ad essere pubblicati dalla Vicarious Visions sono stati Synnergist nel 1996 e Dark Angæl nel 1997. L'azienda ha anche sviluppato il videogioco Terminus, vincitore di due premi in occasione dell'Independent Games Festival nel 1999.

L'azienda è anche nota per aver effettuato la conversione della serie Tony Hawk's Skateboarding per Game Boy Advance nel 2001, di vari videogiochi di Spider-Man per Nintendo DS e di Jedi Knight II, Jedi Academy e Doom 3 per Xbox.

Nel gennaio 2005, l'azienda è stata assorbita dalla Activision. Nel gennaio 2021, l'azienda è assorbita dalla Blizzard Entertainment.

Il 18 Gennaio 2022 in caso di riuscita dell'acquisizione di Microsoft su Activision Blizzard per la cifra di 68.7 miliardi di dollari, Vicarius Visions entrerebbe a far parte degli Xbox Game Studios.
