Cliff Bleszinski Says Farewell to Epic Games

Epic Games has lost one of its most inspiring men, Cliff Bleszinski. Just a moment ago, Epic Games announced that Cliff Bleszinski – also known as Cliffy B. – has left Epic Games. It seems that the Gears of War creator has left to take a break from the gaming-industry world, and enjoy his personal life with his family. You can find his full sentiments down below, and from all of us at AnalogHype, we wish you well Cliff.

I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager, and outside of my sabbatical last year, I have been going non-stop. I literally grew up in this business, as Mike likes to say. And now that I’m grown up, it’s time for a much needed break.

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.
