It was announced on Thursday that Cliff Bleszinski was leaving Epic Games, where he has been working for 20 years and held the title of Design Director.
“I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager, and outside of my sabbatical last year, I have been going non-stop,” Bleszinski said in a letter to colleagues, a selection of which Epic posted on its website. “I literally grew up in this business, as Mike [Capps] likes to say. And now that I’m grown up, it’s time for a much needed break.”
While at Epic games, Cliff had designed several of Epic’s best selling games including Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal, Gears of War and more recently Bulletstorm.
“In 20 wonderful years with Epic, Cliff Bleszinski has grown into a true design luminary, and his contributions to the ‘Unreal’ and ‘Gears’ series have helped shape the game industry into what it is today,” said Epic technical director Tim Sweeney. “Cliff leaves Epic with our gratitude for his many contributions, and our wishes for continued success in the next chapter of his life!”
