Announced on Facebook. VV has Developed Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, they're doing the Crash Bandicoot remastered trilogy, and have a long history of porting games over to handheld systems. Recently, they're the developer handling all of the Skylanders content.

Make of that what you will!

I doesn't necessarily mean that.

Telltale is expanding the Walking Dead universe in the form of a series of adventure games for example. So this could mean spin offs like Halo Wars just as easily as it means new expansions or getting help on the main game. It's vague enough that you can't draw any conclusions yet.

Some possibilities are less bad than others… but I don't think any are particularly GOOD.

Hmm... the VV post (and photo) have been deleted from Facebook; I wonder if the announcement was too soon?

You sure? I can still pull up the post.

Can you link to it? I did a google search, and found two articles (IGN and Polygon) whose links both point to nonexistent Facebook content. I looked on Activision's page, Vicarious Visions' page, and Destiny the Game's page, with no hits.

Thanks for your help!

Huh. Found it...

Oddly enough, that's not the page that came up when I searched Facebook for VV.

Yeah, for some reason they set up their real Facebook account as a person, not a company. Go figure...

Company pages are more limited in the ways they can interact with people, iirc.
