Cliff Bleszinski, who’s best known for his work on Gears of War and Unreal Tournament franchises left Epic Games as announced by the company via Blog post today.
He worked at Epic Games for 20 years and was considered the face of the company.
I will miss the projects, the playtests, the debates, and most importantly, the people,
Epic only hires the best of the best, and it has been a joy working with each and every one of you on a daily basis, whether you were hired weeks ago or decades ago. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with a variety of disciplines, from code to art to marketing and PR — it’s been one big, rewarding learning experience. I’m confident that each project that is being built, whether at Epic, Chair, PCF, or Impossible will be top notch and will please gamers and critics alike.
Bleszinski was last known to be working on Fortnite and Gears of War: Judgement.
