The hits just keep on coming! On June 1st, we celebrated 9 years since Dirty Bomb was released on Steam! The greatest FPS of all time*, the game that inspired Overwatch*, the game that put London on the map*! All jokes aside, Dirty Bomb holds a special place in the hearts of people at Splash Damage. Many of us played the game before joining the company, forging strong bonds as a team with Friday night play sessions, and scheming up new ways to surprise and delight the community. We love you Dirty Bomb. *maybe

Upsettingly, it's been FOUR YEARS since we released Gears Tactics. This Sunday marks the PC release of our second foray into the tactics genre and another of our contributions to this legendary IP. But how did we take Gears of War and turn it into the best* tactics game of all time? It's time to share some details you might have missed. First, why not glance at this interview we and The Coalition did with Polygon? It explores how Gears Tactics began life as a board game, allowing our design team to quickly iterate on ideas, like abandoning the grid! 📖: https://lnkd.in/eFwycnqT Finished reading that? Time to dive into an extensive look from some of our amazing level designers about how they built levels that felt true to the world and the franchise: 📖: https://lnkd.in/dMDq7qR We assume by this point you're convinced by the game's quality, so you probably want to grab yourself a copy.
