Cliffy B hat Epic Games verlassen

In a prepared statement, Epic Games said Bleszinski had departed to "chart the next stage in his career". No further explanation was given and it has not yet been revealed what the Gears of War principal designer will turn to next.

Three board members at Epic have each prepared farewell messages for Bleszinski.

The studio's founder Tim Sweeney said 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".

Company president Mike Capps said the developer's passion for creating video games of the highest quality has been "unflinching".

"We are grateful for all of his hard work, and remain committed to making our fans happy and to always raising the bar in everything we do at Epic," he added.

Company vice president Mark Rein said it was sad to see Bleszinski move on. HE added: "I know that everyone here has benefitted greatly from his passion for gaming and the depth of his expertise and experience. I'll miss watching his star shine from such a close vantage point but I'll still look forward to watching his continued success."
