  • Cliff Bleszinksi Announces Closure of Boss Key Productions

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]25069[/ATTACH]
    Mere minutes ago, Boss Key Productions founder Cliff Bleszinski just announced that they have closed down and are "effectively no more."

    This comes roughly one month after the release of their super early access battle royale game, Radical Heights and the ending of active development on LawBreakers.

    Bleszinski issued this statement via Twitter.
    As of today, Boss Key Productions is effectively no more.

    Four years ago I set out to make a world class video game studio and I hired some of the best talent in the videogame industry. They worked tirelessly to produce quality products and, while we had our ups and downs, I'd like to think, we had fun doing it. LawBreakers was a great game and unfortunately failed to gain traction, and, in a last ditch attempt we scrambled to do our take on the huge battle royale genre with Radical Heights which was well received, however, it was too little too late.

    As for myself, I'm going to take some time off and reflect. I need to focus on myself and family as well as my Aussie, Teddy, who is slowly fading from us. Videogames will forever be a part of who I am and I hope to make something new again someday, however, I need to withdraw and take this time.

    To those of you who have supported myself and the studio these last (four) years, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and everyone who came to work for me.

    Please note that servers for Radical Heights will remain open for the new future.

    Thanks again,

    Cliff

    We wish the best of luck to those employees that are impacted by this.

      Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Review
      by Shawn Zipay
      It's more Elden Ring but with boss encounters turned up to 11.

      Just as Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree unceremoniously thrusts you right into the new DLC, so too shall this review thrust you all straight into what I think of the only expansion for my 2022 game of the year. I do not think that Shadow of the Erdtree is a perfect piece of content. It pales in comparison to the base Elden Ring experience, but not by much. The exploration and sense of discovery do carry over from the...

      Embracer Again Closes TimeSplitters Studio, Free Radical Design
      by Shawn Zipay
      The developer behind the much loved TimeSplitters franchise is being shut down.

      The Embracer bloodbath of 2023 continues. This time, Free Radical Design, is at the receiving end of Embracer's closure spree. Free Radical Design, the Nottingham, UK-based development studio was working on a revival of the TimeSplitters IP. The studio's first title came in 2000 with the release of TimeSplitters for the PlayStation 2. They then went on to make two more entries in the TimeSplitters franchise...

      Crime Boss: Rockay City Steam Review
      by Shawn Zipay
      A decent payday.

      INGAME Studios has been hard at work since Crime Boss: Rockay City was released in March 2023. The game reviewed rather poorly during its 2023 debut and you can tell INGAME took the player and reviewer criticisms to heart. Since that release, the studio has released several major updates for Crime Boss ahead of its June 18, 2024 release on Steam. Crime Boss initially appears to outsiders as a game much akin to the Payday titles. That is, you would think that it's a...
