Splash Damage, the developers behind Batman: Arkham Origins‘ multiplayer component and Brink, have just announced via their blog a partnership with Nexon America, and have changed their upcoming multiplayer shooter Dirty Bomb to Extraction.
With Extraction an on-going free-to-play shooter, Splash Damage partnered with Nexon America for their “staggering experience” in “designing, developing, running, and supporting free-to-pay games” with a “vast infrastructure” necessary for taking on Extraction‘s scope. The game will take place in an abandoned London, one that has been mysteriously attacked by a dirty bomb (radiological weapon), and has mercenaries being paid to extract the secrets left behind: hence the two titles chosen for the project.
Gamespot : The studio, known for its work on franchises like Wolfenstein and Gears of War, has announced its own original game.
From GI.biz: "When it transpired in 2016 that Splash Damage had been acquired by a Chinese poultry firm, the headline raised more than a few eyebrows.
But it turned out that Leyou had more than one ace up its sleeve. The company already owned a majority stake in Warframe developer Digital Extremes and went to buy 20% of Texas-based studio Certain Affinity the next year."
In this week's episode, Kiaun will discuss Final Fantasy 7 Remake physical release possibly being pushed back, Sony updates us on the Playstation 5's backwards compatibility, we get rumors about Spiderman 2's release date and Splash Damage is working on a Google Stadia exclusive.
Sony updated the ps5 website saying it will still release this year. Could be putting on a face. If it got delayed I'd understand.
If anything if the console does drop this year there will most likely be a supply shortage but if it got pushed to 2021 release I wouldn't mind. I usually wait a year or two when the new consoles drop anyways the bugs are worked out and more games are released. Usually when a new console drops the launch titles can be either good or a pile of shit.
Another fuse overstrike situation, bargain bin baby.
Dirty Bomb actually sounded like a game I would look out for; but they couldn't have chosen a more generic name to take its place. Yawn...
Boo. I want Brink 2.
