On Oct 15, 2020, Blizzard informed members of Team 1 that it was reorganising the entire division, according to the people who worked on Warcraft III: Reforged.

Video game publisher Activision Blizzard Inc took another step in consolidating control over division Blizzard Entertainment, which once took pride in its autonomy, by shifting a 200-person design studio to its ranks.
The studio, Vicarious Visions, had been a subsidiary of Activision since 2005 and worked on franchises like Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk. It will now focus entirely on Blizzard’s franchises, including Diablo, instead of making its own games.
