Biography edit · view history
Cliff Bleszinski is best known as the former design director at Epic Games.
His first title was The Palace of Deceit: Dragon's Plight, released by himself in 1991 at the age of seventeen through his self-owned game company Game Syndicate Productions. He sent it to Epic Megagames, who offered him to make another title. That became Dare to Dream (1993). He was with the company since, designing several other games for franchises such as Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal and Gears of War.
On 3 October 2012, Epic announced Bleszinski would leave the company. From 2014 to 2018, he was the co-founder and CEO of Boss Key Productions.
