Splash Damage is a London based company specializing in online games .

Company history

The company originated in 2001 from a non-commercial community of game modification programmers . The development of Quake 3 Fortress - a mod for the game Quake III Arena - resulted in connections to the computer game industry that were used for later partnerships. Splash Damage also produced maps for games like Counter-Strike and Quake III Arena . TV productions were added later. In 2002 a partnership began with id Software and Activision , which led to the founding of his own company to that time still as add-on to Return to Castle Wolfenstein planned Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory to develop. After work on the single-player component of the game that was later developed as a successor was stopped, the completed multiplayer component was finally published as a freeware online game.

Another collaboration with id Software took place for Doom 3 , released in 2004 , for which Splash Damage developed the multiplayer maps.

At the end of September 2007, a successor to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with the name Enemy Territory: Quake Wars was completed, which is based on an improved DOOM³ engine with MegaTextures . Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is designed as a prequel to Quake II in terms of the backstory.

The last title completed is the first-person shooter Brink , whose main focus is on merging multiplayer and single player modes. The game was released by Bethesda Softworks on May 13, 2011. At the beginning of 2012 it was announced that they were currently working on at least two titles.
